Got my first smartphone when I was 30 already (it was a gift), I'm closing to 40 now and I'm still using the same phone.
if you don't mind me asking, which model is it and which region is your carrier in?
in the US a ≥10 year old smartphone is almost unheard of since the 3G shutdown
Most 2016 era smartphones have 4G.
that's true I suppose
I'm still fucking salty because all US carriers decided to not support the 4G on Sony XZ2c and that was my favorite fuckin phone and the last truly compact one I ever found that met my spec requirements
I'm a little surprised that's an active decision from carriers instead of whatever has compatible radios just working.
Most US carriers also sell phones (usually via payment contract) so it's in their best interest to discontinue support for older hardware
Samsung J2 Core, the cheapest new one at the time. It has 4G.
That rules!
