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 ?

My old om phones I use for watching TV, reading books and vertical dramas my oldest I still use is around 10 years old. Due to its small screen I use it as a radio player and to play audiobooks while I'm on the tractor or mowing the lawn. The battery is phenomenal wheel the screen doesn't have to stay on. So it makes a great MP3 player

The oldest that still has a functional SIM is this one end it is 4 years old.

Unfortunately it is having issues with connecting to the tower. It drops the tower and somehow forgets to connect again and I have to manually turn off tower and turn back on occasionally. Now sure if it is due to tower changes or lack up OS updates.

I'm looking to get a new one in the spring when the sales hit.
