      This is not much of a news. Many people -if not all- is regularly upgrading their phone every other year or so.
      Why keep uodating most news to one country's people?

        and that Indian premium phone market is less than 10% of the total smartphone market. 😅

          Just buy new phone and use it three years. After three years buy new one again. Buying new phone more often is useless as it will have no to little difference.

                                JustAGuy21, 03 Jul 2019IMHO, Water and Dust resistance is a must in mobile phones.... mores10 e maybe, or normal s10. S9 or OP6 are also good options if you don't want a In display FP

                                  I will upgrade after 2 years provided my phone don't break or fail.

                                    Waiting for 5G network before even considering upgrades!! Cost must be same or lesser, never higher prices!! No iPhones

                                      IMHO, Water and Dust resistance is a must in mobile phones. Was looking forward to getting Xperia 1, but Sony just pulled themselves out of Indian market.

                                      If you ask me, under display fingerprint reader is a bad option because the chances of it not working when display is broken is high.

                                      Asus 6z/6T is my next target.

                                      Any suggestions other than Xperia 1 and 6z, fellow readers?
