Nearly half of our readers now wait three years or more to replace their phones as spec upgrades have plateaued.

i am running a OnePlus Nord N200 5G (2021 release) that i bought brand new in 2023. It works well enough, and I run lineage OS on it with no Google Play services of any kind.

Thankfully, phones cost less and less Monero every year, so I can upgrade when I feel like it, though I don't want to if I don't have to.
