Shit, even my 5-6 year old S9 was pretty decent at the end, and fairly similar to my new phone. I only upgraded because the network chip was getting wonky, which made me a bit uneasy about getting stranded somewhere.

I can't wait for the EU regs about removable batteries to kick in. Now, if only we could finally move to a display technology that doesn't suffer from burn-in....

    I'd be more interested in legislation forcing them to release at least security updates for a decade. My phone is 6 years old, works absolutely fine (even the battery), but it hasn't received any security parches for a couple of years, meaning it's insecure and I have to replace it even though it works great. Complete buffoonery.

    Edit: I mean more than the screen thing, not the battery thing.

    I'm still on an S10. Battery life sucks and the screen has been cracked for years, but she still works just fine. No motivation at all to spend $1k on an 'upgrade'
