Yeah :( I love my 2017-2018 phone to death, bht it has started with the random crashes and “dying” (boot loops followed by not turning on anymore) for a few minutes / hours before coming back to its senses occasionally
Comment on A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades

I dunno, my phone’s always start to have issues if I keep them too long. Boot loops, frequent crashing, random resets, functionality failing to work as it did when new, pack of security updates, etc. The hardware is built to fail

Yeah, I’d still be using my galaxy note 4 if it didnt start having so many issues. Used that phone for what seemed like 6 years. Well built, but the replaceable batteries that were reliable were harder to come by. It had boot loop issues, it had some sort of memory corruption defect that was common with note 4s.

Also it was hella expensive back then. You can get a Pixel 8 for the same price with 7 years of updates. Way better value.
