What's the point of buying new phones every years? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've felt this way for a long time. After paying off an expensive contract for a S7 edge, I swore to never pay more than £100 for a phone. My S7 lasted 5 years before the battery gave out and the phone started to struggle.

I replaced it with a Redmi not 9 and after a year and a half i was having problems running my most used apps, bit to mention the ammount of bloatware was shocking.

I have just bought a refurbished Pixel 6 for £250 and the difference is in quality and performance is staggering! I have never been happier with a phone.

So my advice would be avoid the cheap brands and buy something future proof, but i totally agree there is no need to get a kew phone every year.

I read this as "Turning Machines" and thought this was CNC Programmer Humor...

Maybe... But they brought prog rock to the masses and we should respect them for that at least.

Personally I think they are great but I grew up listening to them.

Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect? in c/reddit@lemmy.world
