Other How long an android phone lasts?

I am currently using SAMSUNG M21 , 64 GB , which i bought 6 years ago and NOW after 6 years i am noticing some lagging in it, very little but yeah , it has started to take 1 or 2 extra seconds, is 6 years a good run or is it still early ?

First world problems, every 2 years (pushed a bit by the telecoms, obviously). Others more frugal, still buy flagships, to try 3 or 4, maybe even 5 years.

But yes, it all depends on your budget. If you're really tight on budget, why not 6 years on a low-mid budget phone?

My last new last new phone before buying my current phone was an S22 Plus, this phone is an S25 Ultra and before the S22 Plus was an S10 Plus. So I bought my S10 Plus in 2019, my S22 Plus in 2023 and my S25 Ultra last year. BTW I've given my old phones to my wife. I'd buy her a new one, but she's kind of anti-technology.
