Yes, it does have its fair share of bugs and doesnt receive updates anymore (i think) and isnt the most powerful device but it gets me through anything I want to do.

          What manufacturers want is for you to buy every 12 months, and people now know more about phones, it's not like they did 10 years ago! Now it takes longer to update because the new features are almost irrelevant. I'm waiting for something that catches my attention and when I buy it I'm going to dedicate no less than 2 years to it because nothing interesting will come out in that time.

                And even if they can their phones are not made for excessive gaming.

                    Smartphone companies should provide spare parts for a longer time especially battery because that degrades over time.

Lets say within 3 years even a very updated OS will become laggy bggy and will slow down whole your device.
                                  The onlly cure or treatment for this is buying new phone.
                                  I for example always sells my previous phone as long as it have some value.
                                  Noone will buy 10 years old but still working phone not even 5 years old. Only for a very low money like 5-20 euros. But from 5-20 euros will have no happiness at the end.

                                    Those people use their phone probbably for text and calls but thats it.

                                      Anonymous, 05 Nov 2023Phones are getting more expensive.well not in the case of xiaomi, on their flagship killer like poco f series, most of their price were stagnant

                                        This is very funny since most of the basic phones and mostly average midrangers cant last more than 3 years people which said will keep for 5+ years pray for their phone to last that long but outdated hardware and a lots of fat from bloatware insidide will make their phones last up to 3 years at most.
                                        Only falgships could last 5+. But having very outdated flgship with zero value at the end is not my wish of a day. But people suits them selves.
