Why I refuse to upgrade.

We see new smartphones releasing all the time. But we're starting to hit a plateau in progress. Here's why I won't upgrade my work phone.

"Smartphones are getting good at getting old" pure poetry right there. Love the video. Couldnt agree more.

So, secretly this is a S21 FE review.

I feel like you can't sincerely make an "I refuse to upgrade" vid with a two-year-old phone. Shoutout to my homie still rocking a s7.

You have a phone that’s a year old and you decided to make an 8 minute long review about why you’re not upgrading anymore? My phone is from 2018, I want to see people with 5-10 years with the same phone and how it’s holding up today.

As a latin american the only reason People upgrade phones is

Your phone is broken.
Your phone is stolen.
Your phone is a crappy low end phone and you can finally afford something better.

Are we gonna pretend that the absurd increase in prices is not one of the main reasons for not upgrading?

my wife loves the form factor of her S10e, which surprisingly received a new OS update today (15 months after the official end of support)

I've got a Pixel 6 Pro and I was just about to upgrade to the 8 Pro. After watching your video, I'm seeing sense again and have decided to keep the 6 Pro. Cheers mate!

My main reason for refusing to upgrade is the ridiculous weight and non-ergonomic designs of new flagships.

Still rocking a Galaxy Note 9. Does everything I want it to, is fast enough, takes decent photos, has wireless charging, and rocks a 1440p AMOLED. Not much else that I need.

so this is your daily driver and you have no sim card installed?....

Completed 4yrs of my iPhone SE 2020. The charging cable is hanging on for life but the phone is still going strong.
Did one battery change about 2years ago.

I honestly never understood the reason why people upgrade phones every year even now but still use 5/6 year old laptops

[satkotech]

"It's impressive for a phone of this age" it came out 2 years ago...

Enjoyed your takes and I'm sorry, but this video was more "Why the S21 FE is still viable" and less "Why it's pointless to upgrade", majority of your arguments used the S21FE as an example when you could have easily used other examples from the same era and price range with some research. :)

I've been using a Galaxy S20 FE since December 2020. The only reason I'm considering replacing it towards the end of the year is because it will stop getting security patches. Otherwise, it still does everything I need it to do well enough.

I got you all beat... I went from an S8 to a S24 Ultra. Now that's an upgrade! I do miss how insanely light and thin the S8 was.

[swingyflingex]

My iPhone 6S still works like a goddamn charm and I don't plan to update it unless it stops doing so. Eight years strong and about to turn 9 this year. If it makes it to 10 I'm gonna honorably retire him.

You wouldn't be receiving the 6.1UI and BELIEVE ME, it's a game changer! The ability to copy text from anything is beyond useful! And I'm hopeful that the translator will be expanded to include more languages but the languages they offer right now is incredible. And the sticker feature isn't super helpful but it's pretty dope

This video is great timing for me. I've currently got an S21FE as well. I bought it the week it came out, got free Galaxy buds paired with it and had AU$100 knocked off the new price. I've been toying with the idea of the S24+ because it looks really nice, but this is a great reminder that I will (personally) not get any extra functionality from upgrading. This phone is amazing, runs fast and is still getting a lot of the software features coming out on the latest and greatest Samsung phones. It still does more and has greater functionality than the latest iPhone 15 (which I have to use for work).
