How often do you update your phone?

[Dandelion Wine]

Do you race out and buy the newest piece of technology as soon as it's released? Or do you keep your phone for as long as possible until it doesn't work?

BONUS: What kind of phone do you have?

[Chungie]

When I have enough for a new one.

 

I have HTC One (Dual Sim/Asian edition) currently.

[Delincious]

ew no

i keep my phone until it breaks beyond repair

usually lasted ~2years so far

 

nokia lumia shit

[sadface]

on average 1 phone for ~2 years.

 

and I'm using a Galaxy S4 right now

I had the same phone from 2004 to 2011 but with smartphones emerging and how I use phones now (like a pocket computer), i'll probably need a new one every 2 years. Any longer and the hardware will really become too outdated. I currently have a HTC Sensation which is a little over 2y/o and even the most basic tasks have a 5sec lag. It's slow as fuck. I'm just waiting for the Nexus 5 to come out.

[Sunshiner]

I usually do it every 2 years when my contract ends. I'll get an iPhone 5S in a week or two, or I'll hold onto my 4S until Galaxy S5 comes out.

[whiteasian]

i have a nokia

so basically its going to last forever or until the battery dies

[silverlining]

at least 2 years just because of a contract. I might then hold out on getting a new one straight away if my phone is still in in good condition and maybe take some time to shop around if new phones are about to be released etc.

when i want one

i'm usually very moody when it comes to phones

my last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S3 for a half and a year and now it's an iPhone 5S

[fartsniffer]

been using the same one for... wait let me calculate...

 

...

 

8 years. 

 

Dang my phone is half Zelo's age

[Temptastic VII]

I have never owned a phone.... 

[Little Red]

I update it when they break..usually due to the battery

 

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and a Nokia Lumia 620

[RubberDuckyTai]

I update when it no longer works. And by that, I mean when I can't make any phone calls from it (I don't care about the rest of it working)...So I still have my Galaxy S2 and it still works perfectly fine....

[Iron Girl]

No I wait my phone to break or smth
had my previous one since 2009 but it fell from the 5th floor so I updated to the galaxy S4

[hilmanelric]

i keep it until the battery leaks...

or until it broken and can't be fixed

[*Anonymous*]

I keep mine until it breaks or does something weird like call my roommate 20 times in the middle of the night. Even then I don't get new ones.

I currently have my little brother's old LG Encore. I've never had a new phone now that I think about it, just a "new to me" phone lol.

[Taemin]

I usually keep it for quite a while, until it kinda starts to malfunction I guess.

Don't care much for the newest of the newest.

So far, I've generally had my phones for about 4-5 years each or so, I think,

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 now.

Got it a few months ago, around the time the S4 came out.

My mom got a new S4 then (she cares more about the newest stuff than me xD), so I got her S2.

 

I have no plans to get a new one anytime soon.

[North and South]

I keep it for as long as possible. Same with everything that I own.

[Ohsogrey]

Usually every 2-3 years.  I've had my current iPhone4 for around 2.5 years but I dropped it in the toilet (by accident of course) so I'm now borrowing a friend's old iPhone4.

 

A friend of mine is flying to the US this weekend and I've already given her the money to buy me a iPhone5s. Can't wait to have a new toy.

[˹AS˼]

When my contract ends, I'm officially going Contract-Free and will keep the same phone until there's a reasonable better version out there in the future. 

[Izaya Orihara]

I usually get a phone every few months...I know i have had at least 10 this year lol
