The truth is that I don't buy new phones and New Laptop. I target upgraded used phones and buy it. If the phone is higher than five thousand naira, I will not buy it. 2013 I bought asha 501 @ #5k gave it to my wife younger sister in 2015 when I bought ZTE G3 Android phone @ #6k and Techno L3@ #5k. gave the Techno to my younger brother to collect is 3 sims techno phone of #4k.

Used my galaxy s3 for exactly 2 years. I never changed anything on the phone. Not even the battery. Most ppl mistake it for new sef. Eventually I gave it to my bro because I was tired of it.
My benchmark is that 2 years.

Laptop is a different case grin . I got my laptop 8 years ago. But it was top of the line then cost $1000 which was about 150k back then . it's just become obsolete for regular games like Fifa. Only thing I changed on the laptop was battery.

My next laptop will be top of the line for sure. Andni intend to use it for 5 years minimum


Just goes to show. Buy smart, buy quality and maintain it, take good care of it.... It will last for you.

Nice one. Don't mind these children changing phones every year or three months.
The real world is not easy, all one needs is a phone to do the basics. I'm still rocking my 5800 bought since a month after release in 2008. Although the phone has broken apart gradually it still serves its purpose.
Would upgrade either ending of this year or early next year.

To be honest I use mine 18-24months. I'm super careful with my phones and they could keep going but to be able to make use of tech advances i dont use much longer than 2yrs, providing finances allow. And I usually try upgrade my phone right after release of newer model so I can save $ while being only one model behind. Newly released phones are so expensive...can rarely bring myself to spend that much...hurts my pocket to part with so much $ smiley
