    If I check phones released 7 years old … I do not to use them today. Even if updates would be provided.

      Why not? If the phone is physically still functional, and receives software updates, why does it matter if its 7 years old?

        To each their own. There’s more to a phone than just if it’s physically working and supported with updates. I definitely wouldn’t be using an S7 Edge today because phones these days have better cameras, larger displays, better battery life, etc.

          Gotcha, that’s exactly what I was asking. I can see how that could matter to some.

        It will be slow (new soft targets relatedly new he) Many technology improve noticeably on this time frame, für ne camera is important. 5 yars for a top spec phone is the limit for me.

        Well, 7 yaars old fair phone 2 has 2gb of memory and 32 GB of storage. Not enough for my usecases in 2023. Not diving in microusb, BT 4.0, 2420mAh battery and other things.

          I said more features. Such as removable battery, headphone jack, ir blaster, fm radio, SD card slot, notification led etc.

              Yeah because the only way to fit more RAM is to remove other usefull features instead of including both.

              Why am I ever replying…
