    If your phone gets significantly slower, then it’s still a thing.

    My Motorola Edge 30 its still as fast as when I bought it a few years back. That’s how it’s supposed to be.

      That’s a phone with 8GB of RAM that came out two years ago. Of course it will still feel snappy. Apple agreed to a settlement in 2020 about the iPhone 6s, which came out in 2014, at the time, a 6 year old device. If your phone doesn’t feel snappy in four years then it’s the same playing field

        Yeah true. I will probably keep it for that long since nothing excites me about new mobile phones anymore. Feels like it’s all the same now.

          Agreed, nearly every new phone release is just adding numbers to specs with little difference in how a phone feels or new features that improve user experience. Once you have 30 or 40 megapixels, 8GB of RAM, hex core processors, and 5G/wifi 6 etc, anything else just feels like marketing numbers

          Nothing excites anyone about new phones anymore. And that’s why this problem exists.
