In 2010-2013, I was always excited to have the latest flagship phone: Galaxy S, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4.
Eventually, I realised that smartphones are just substandard device:
- for doing programming, still not a match for PC/laptop
- for making pictures, still not a match for your favorite APSC/FF/medium format cameras
- for reading books/comics, not a match for you favourite dedicated book reader
- etc
These days, I only use my phone mostly for Whatsapp, Telegram, social media, music, reading some papers/books. No need for the latest, shiniest phone for those. My main phone is already 4 years old and doesn't receive update newer than Android 10. Probably will buy a new phone next... or the two next year.
