How much years usage?

How many users are sure that they will use their phones for more than 7 years ?

I don't know if I wd use 7 years but each s series is worth keeping. 🔥

With the introduction of ai features that are pushed regularly.. software has become more important than a long term hardware of phones.. not every features are provided by any manufacturer in regular updates to older phones

True .. but now upgrades r very subtle i don't personally like the rounded design i loved the old s24 ultra boxy frames

It's trends, changes after every 3 years..even minor changes matters people.. like camera positions or camera elevations like s 25 to s 26..I phone 16 to iPhone 17

I have used A20 for more than 6 years, J2 for 3 years

No one will or rather wont be able to... Every app and features nowadays consume most of your resources 24/7 so you will feel device behaving sluggish just after 2 years

True

Just keep the phone fresh without updating the apps, except Google services and play store + google

Max, I propose that we sustain our current strategic approach for a period of up to four years. This timeline aligns with the projected emergence of 6G technology, which is expected to introduce a new generation of devices that could potentially diminish the competitiveness of our existing product line. While a seven-year update cycle is an admirable objective, I anticipate that many contemporary features will become incompatible with older devices within two years, thereby encouraging users to consider upgrades within a three-to-four-year timeframe. Furthermore, I believe that a very small percentage of users will retain their devices for more than seven years.
