    Phones suffer a lot from forced obsolescence. More often than not, the hardware is fine, but the OEM abandons it because “lol fuck you, buy new shit”. Anyone that says that a Samsung S7 “can’t handle current apps” is out of their mind

    Other than camera and software, there’s hardly any reason to buy new phones over flagships from some years ago.

      True. For my next phone I’m looking at how long security updates are promised for, so I can get something with long-term support.
