What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

I think you’ve convinced me it makes sense for the right person. Especially if it’s the only device you carry around.

I don’t game on my phone apart from some really simple ones like Minesweeper and Flow Free. Everything else I do is just reading, which I have no problem doing on my Galaxy S10’s screen. I never even considered that something like RCT or RuneScape could run on a phone now. All my serious gaming happens on a desktop or my Steam Deck.

I also play Beat Saber several times a week! It’s loads of fun. I find the multiplayer gets me competitive and I’ll end up playing for up to 2 hours (assuming I’ve kept my endurance up).

I’ve never seen that replay feature before, that’s really cool. I stopped playing modded songs a while ago because the plugin kept breaking and was incompatible with multiplayer. Has that gotten any better? (I play on SteamVR w/ Valve Index)
