How often do you change/upgrade/buy your smartphone?

[abducted]

Who keeps up with the latest phones, Samsung S8, OnePlus 5, Google Pixel, iPhone X, Moto Z, and the marketing is working because you feel as though you need the new technology offered in the newest phones, the prices keep getting higher and higher too.

i does replace mines with the cheapest decent non blu phone when it start to wok real slow so i would say every 4-6 years. if apple ever make a phone which double as a mac osx machine, i go buy the iphone in a heartbeat

[src1983]

I does buy when it mashup and can’t work anymore

[Dizzy28]

With my package TSTT offers a new phone every 18 months (either free or at a cost dependent on handset model chosen).

[ismithx]

so far since I under my own financial administration, like once a year. buy either the latest midrange or last year's flagship and sell the old one. Works out very cheap for me.

I does buy when it mashup and can’t work anymore

My logic also

[nervewrecker]

Decided to try a flagship phone for once. That's the only reason why.
Opted for good memory, camera and water resistant because of the work I do.

On that note how petrotrin men does have phone that barely worth $1000.00 but store clerks and cashiers have s7 edge and done talking about s8 and iphone x? I thought petro men salary large?

[Zetski]

My Sony Walkman still in good condition and working after 11 years.. so i doh need a smartphone.

[nervewrecker]

A cashier pick up my s7 edge this week and told me is her own. I unlocked it with my finger print.
She look twice and saw her s7 edge under the counter. Same gold as mine.
Sat in atlantic plaza at point lisas and real school children (sec and tertiary) have iphone and samsung edge phones.

Every 2 years.

I had the iPhone 5, then iPhone 6S two years later. Now two years have passed and I am looking to get the iPhone X.

Experts often suggest staying away from 1st generation phones but that really don't matter to me (even though the iPhone 5 lasted a very very short while.) I had to repair it more than twice. Honestly, once its functional, I'm happy.

I have a fourth Gen Apple TV and a 1st gen iPad Air and 1st get Apple Watch and 1st Gen Airpods. All work really well and i have no need for an upgrade right now.

[Chimera]

up to recently i was using 2 s5's (before that i had two a s3 and a blackberry 9700)
then someone sell me a s6 edge for $900 because the camera lens has a crack....and i use that and a s5 for a year until it get stolen

now i using a htc m8 and a samsung s7 (with a cracked camera lens lol)

and i have s8,s8+, v20, iphone 7 plus for sale in my store eh

but i just doh rly see the need for such phones myself

the only games i would play on my phone is subway surfer or pool

Yes - Apple people rock ..

It is a well known fact that all cheap phones give out radiation ..

After a while you dead with brain radiation .. or your ear fall off the bone

[VexXx Dogg]

It turns out that my phone usually takes a crap after about 2 years.
once the battery starts going flat after a couple hours I usually swtch

I usually look for decent deals on amazon, doh really care about iphone or galaxy

[pete]

Basically replace when it conks out. For me that seems to happen every two years.

[nick639v2]

3 years and its not because the phones deteriorated (except the galaxy), i get them as gifts most times..

Ericsson k850 > Bb 8900 > iPhone 4 > Galaxy S3 > iphone 5s > iPhone 7

By far the galaxy was the worse phone i owned, and I quickly reverted back to apple.

In no way an apple fanboy, but as a daily driver apple has proved itself for me. And my samsung tabs and other android products takes a back seat

[GOAT]

When it no longer works properly.
Had my Samsung Galaxy Ace for maybe 3-4 years, after that went bought my S6 which I have for around 2 years now.

[pete]

Well, the S3 was a terrible phone so..

It is about a need for technology

[matix]

I have my iPhone 5 since 2012. Still going strong. Bought the SE and that's still new in the box. Lifeproof cases keeps the phone in flawless condition.

[rollingstock]

Sony k800i for many years, battery went bad, decided to get the flagship s3 at the time.
Pieceofshit phone, gave up on it after about a year.
In 2013 or early 14 decided to go back to Sony. Bought the new Xperia z2 for its waterproof capability and battery life. Still going strong.

For my outside women whatever the prisoners have on their person at that time.
