How Long Should a mobile phone last with an individual. by squarelead(m): 9:08pm On Apr 20, 2020
Some people use phones for just some months, while some use phones for years. All things being equal, disregarding if your phone was stolen or misplaced. How long do you use mobile phones. For mine have been using my phone since July 2018, and I have no plans of changing it anytime soon, and on the average I use phones for at least 18 months. How long does phones last with you generally?

As long as it's not stolen. Why are you thinking of it... Is there nothing better to think of?

Depends on if the device got a solid build and decent/flagship specs recognized all over the world, not the ones recognized by some of our brothers and sisters (you know yourselves)

it all depends on affordability, maintenance and durability. some people change phones in months, but if your device is durable you can use it for upto 1 or 2 years too, i have been using my camon device for quite a while

It depends on the quality of the device, If it is Nokia or Samsung which I buy costly. Like my Nokia 6.1 plus which bought 70k last November, am using it till 2021. The specs are ok.

Mine will clocks 3 years next week and I don't even think of changing the phone... Not a phone freak though
Re: How Long Should a mobile phone last with an individual. by Oyinlomobambam(m): 10:16pm On Apr 26, 2020
I change phone every 6months max, now gotten Xiaomi phone and it's 9month already.

The reason I change it like that is I don't like my phone to get fault at all. And I sold it almost same price I bought it.

I have actually plan to sell this but the offer is not attractive and money is not coming in cos of this lockdown.

I'll surely get new one after the lockdown

Most iPhone users hardly think of getting a replacement except for show off or show biz. That device is strong and replacement part is cheap.

I can remember my iPhone 8 falling through the window in a fast speeding car on lekki ajah express way, in fact the phone flew not dropped, my people that phone is still solid, never repaired it, only had an hair line crack on screen and edges scratch. Just change battery if you wish after some years, that’s all. I think wizkid is still using his iPhone 6 even if he has others.

A brand new iPhone or a good uk or us used iphone will last you years without issues, And will have a strong second hand value in the market when you want to upgrade.

I was a big Samsung galaxy s series fan tho, from s6 to s8+ but you see ehn, if ur Samsung screen should have fault, that phone is gone. You can buy a brand new s10 for 260k today and sell 90k tomorrow if the screen should crack angry
Was Really impressed by iPhone after the switch
