How often does Sup Forums replace their phone? I currently have an LG G3 but am considering getting a Nexus 5x instead, although I would prefer to wait for the next Nexus. My G3 is acting up, getting a bit slow and it's of course always nice to have new things...
When I bought my G3 about two years ago it cost me €500 and I guess I could get maybe €100 for it meaning a net loss of €200/year which is rather much in my opinion for an everyday item such as a phone.
It made me think, why not get "last gen" every year instead of current gen every other year? If we take the Nexus 5x as an example it launched for around €500 and now, a year later, it costs €250. I guess it would make more sense getting this now for €250 and then get the "new Nexus" in about a year for the same price.
What are your thoughts on the subject? How often do you replace your phones? I always buy mine without subscription because I prefer to pay the full ammount at once instead of spreading it over like two years.
>paying more than €150 for your personal profiling device I think you should buy an iPhone faggot

I've got kids so a good camera is a must for on the go photos.

My 3.5-year old nokia lumia 920 still works great. No reason to upgrade.

Got an iphone 5 at launch, was my first smartphone. Swapped it out little more than a month ago, for an SE. Gonna be hard to move away from the form factor once that one shows some age.

Another reason to buy an iPhone, it's just a toy and your children will love it Now fuck off pleb

I'm getting a Wileyfox Spark X when it releases, I think it will just satisfy my needs with the 2GB of ram. Bought a Lumia 640 about a year and 1/4th ago. It worked but it really is giving me a headache so now and then with its continu ''resuming''.

One of the reason I'd prefer the new Nexus, assuming the leaks are legit it will have a similar design. I'd never buy an iPhone since they're overpriced and iOS sucks but they do know how to design attractive phones.

used to upgrade every 2 years when my contract ended, but since contracts have gone ridiculously expensive networks still wanting £200 up front on a £50 a month contract. and i'm still deciding wether to get a new nexus when they are out, get a HTC 10 or wait and see what HTC comes out with next year, as my one M8 is still a good phone, besides the camera and kinda want to get a phone with a fingerprint reader just so android pay is quicker to unlock.

learn to read the spark as 8gb the spark X has 2gb.

Does it still get software updates? The Nexus lines only get two years worth of android updates and I guess other android phones get the same or less.

Am running a samsung from 2011 that had android 4. Love this little thing. It does all I need it to, and nothing more. It can connect to 4g if I get lost and need maps, and the wifi+firefox has helped me a few times when I needed internet but didn't have my laptop on me.
I actually bought an unlocked Galaxy SIII a while back and now its just sitting inside the box on a shelf, too bulky and so many features that are unneeded. I think a big drive for the production of all these modern phablets is that most of the consumers are young adults or teens, so they weren't around for the era of grey indestructible nokia phones, that did nothing except call and message.
you can tell from this picture that this phone's armor render it invincible.

Whenever I feel like it. I bought my BlackBerry Q10 a year ago this month and still have it, that's the longest one's ever lasted me.

I only upgrade phones when my old one becomes unusable one way or another. They all do the same thing. The only app I even use now I didn't/couldn't have on my S4 is Pokemon Go. Everything else I do, I did on my S4 with no problems. DS and PSone emulators, couple of toilet games, Facebook, Chrome, M Word, music, movies.. only difference is a bigger, higher resolution screen and longer battery life.
People who "upgrade" phones every time a new one comes out and shinty, spoiled brats that don't value their possessions any longer then for the "new car" smell to wear off.

So, I'm between an iPhone SE and a Galaxy S6. Technical specs are something I don't give a shit about, I just want a stable system that doesn't end up like trash a year after I purchase and a wide variety of decent apps, with equally decent performance. Which one suits my needs the best?
Logan Martin
the s6 is almost 2 years old so it's EOL the SE has just been released and will still be updated for at least 3 more years, so i'd go for the iphone SE and make sure you get the 64gb version, as you can't do shit with 16gb.

>5.5 inch display >720p u sure about that?
Hunter Cox
>anything higher than 720x1280 on a phone Come on user
Matthew Ramirez
the note 2 has a 720p display at 5.5 inches, and it's ok, not the greatest but could be an 8 inch 840x400 display.
