General

I have a cheapy no-name samsung phone that cost me 30 bucks new back in 2009. And that was only because I switched carriers and my old phone had a cracked screen and a battery that went from full charge to dead in under an hour. I just don't see the point in upgrading to a new phone. I only talk to 2 or 3 peopel with my phone on a regular basis, I don't frequent facebook, not big on chats or IM's so I wouldn't care about snapchat or any of that.

But everyone's always like "you should upgrade to a smartphone, it's so much better" Not replacing this bad boy until the battery can't hold a charge anymore lol.

Using the Nexus 5.
I usually get an upgrade every 1.5-2 years, no contracts for me

still got my iphone 4
from when they first were released

I got it in like June, so like 4 months? Galaxy S5
I was going to get the Note 4, but Im just going to wait until the Note Edge release.

iPhone 5s, it's less than a year old. It works great

I see people in my hs still rocking iphone 4. i mean if it still works and u can call & text then use it. money is tight

Got my first phone (Sprint S4) last summer so I've had my phone for a bit more than a year now. It does everything I need to do fine (using basic apps like email and docs, playing a few games). I plan on getting a new phone when my phone dies on me or when the future current generation of phones are just incredibly better than mine.

iPhone 5, 1.5 years old. Planning on using it until it literally breaks and becomes unusable.
I used the Motorola Razr from 2007 - 2011 and another sliding, non-smart phone from 2011 - 2013.

I switch phones every two years.
I had Galaxy S2 which i bought 2 days before G3

Now i got the Galaxy S5.
planning to get the S7 if they release it....
Or maybe switch

I still use a flip phone.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 since May so only about 5 months old. It is still very new and I will probably use it for another 2 years before switching.

I'm using the iPhone 5S. I got it in December 2013 so it's not even a year old yet. It functions pretty nicely, except I started to have WiFi issues ever since I installed iOS 8 Thinking of getting a Samsung Galaxy S4 during my next renewal which will probably be in another 2 or 3 years.

I bought my phone in September 2014.

i think the model came out last year or something, some android phone.

and its my first phone

I had a slide phone with a full keyboard from Oct 2010 to March 2014.
Then I finally got a LG G2 and it changed my life. Unfortunately, I don't have data because of stupid Cricket de-flashing it (basically). God I hate Cricket.
I bought the phone used, but it looked new, and it's probably almost a year old.

But all these companies must be sabotaging their phones or something cause why do all the newest flagship phones start to lag after just a few months?

I had a droid 4 from like 2012 (I loved it to death but the battery life sucked ) and so when my sister upgraded her phone this year she gave me her gs3...I would probably still be using my old phone if the battery didn't die like halfway through the day lol

I get a new phone whenever I can upgrade, so after a year and a half into my contract.
Every phone I have for a while starts to malfunction and the battery life just gets worse.

LF> iphone.

Nexus 4. I'm thinking about getting the Note 4 or Nexus 6.

Old enough that it needs to be plugged into an electric socket to work.

Uh I have the iPhone 6 and I got it the day it came out so a month old?
It's perfect for my needs
Solid memory, camera, etc
I also play some iOS games
And link iMessage with my laptop to talk to my honey wherever I go

I tend to switch phones every two years

I've only had it for a couple years, but I believe the model is a few years older than that
