Hello house techies.

I have been nursing this question for a while and decided to throw it open to experts here.

I am a mild user of phones and usually dash them out after a year plus. So I hardly know the effect of using phones for too long.

However, this economic downturn is making me prolong my use of my current phone, Samsung galaxy note 2.

I bought this phone brand new in March 2013 and I have been using it as my main phone both for voice/Internet calls, browsing, downloads and everything else that smartphones do.

I have replaced the screen once which has been the only major replacement done so far (although the screen is cracked again).

My observations on its current performance aare as follows.
- battery drains fast. 3 hours on browsing.
-gets hot within minutes of browsing
-occasionally hangs when it is hot

Otherwise, it runs well.

My question is this.
1 . is this phone redeemable?
2. How long can one use a smart phone before it packs up?
3. The heat emission is indicative of what?
4. What brand of phone will match the functionality of SGN 2 and not cost more than 50k ( I bought the note 2 for 93k in 2013)

Thanking you in advance as you shed light on my enquiries.
