    Phones have a hard life compared to a computer, I suspect the number of phones that last four years would be very small, never mind 8.

    Who’s the sad sack that downvoted this? When was the last time you dropped your laptop in the sink?

      Do people really treat their phones so badly? I have a Galaxy Note II (Almost 12 year old phone!) that still works. Thanks to community support it has Android 12 installed and it’s currently working as a radio in my garage.
      My uncle is using my old S8 as his daily driver and it works no problem.

        They get carried around all day, charged every day, dropped, ports wear out etc. Compared to a computer, they have a hard life, even the most kindly treated ones.
