For how long do you prefer to use a particular phone?

Question

I love sticking with a particular phone for as long as I want since its not faulty.

Comments

Normally, as long as the smartphone is still in good working condition, I wouldn't mind using it for at least 2 to 3 years before making arrangements to having it replaced. 

---

I always try to use my smartphone as long as there is no issue with it. I am not the type of person that will always want to spend a whole lot of time trying to buy a new phone. So, I stuck to one as long as it lasted.

---

There were times that I have to change my phone because I wasn't satisfied with it. It just took me 6 months to change another phone brand.

---

However, I usually upgrade my phone every two to three years, depending on the availability of the latest technology......................................

Answer 1

I will keep using a particular phone as long as it keeps serving whatever I want to use it for. As for me, I am not really moved by the latest sophisticated device out there in the market. And besides, I am not trend follower, I like to do my thing my own way. So, it's always in my best interest to ensure I don't deviate from what has been working for me over the years.
Additionally, I am not like those guys who are phone freaks, or those who want to impress their peers with the latest phone they have acquired that's the talk of the town.

More importantly, my phone is no bragging bright for me, but rather what enables me to perform the primary functions of what exactly a phone is designed for, which is to make calls, send/receive messages, surf the internet, and any other stuff it can assist me with to make my daily activities easy and effortless.

Answer 2

I always wanted to try something new, if only I can afford to change phone every now and then, I already did. But, I have no jobs and my income is just extra doing online surveys and stuff like Answeree. And I am so proud that I bought a phone that I like through this extra income online, well plus my strategy of buyong cheap stuff and sell in a small profit but I already atop doing that now. I bought my phone 6 months ago, and before that I have a iPhone 6 plus and I just use it for couple of months, it was second hand anyway so I just sold it and I bought another one. My reason was that it was too big for me and I wanted a smaller phone not a bulky. And now, I wanted to be back again to bigger phone since I am doing online survey and smaller screen makes my eyes hurt causing to read smaller letters. It really depends on my mood and of course financially, first to consider before changing another phone.

Answer 19

I'd prefer to use a smartphone for at least 2 years. This is because smartphones are constantly being updated with new features and software, so it's best to upgrade every few years to get the most out of your device.

However, if you're happy wit your current phone and it's still working well, there's no need to upgrade right away.
