Re: Who needs a new phone when 2018-vintage kit still packs a punch?
Yup - my Samsung S8 still performing perfectly fine as a smart phone.
Samsung (and the article) are right. When the S9 or S10 came out, I was just "meh".
There isn't much over the models at all - other manufacturers are in the same problem - Apple and Huawei.
I can't see my wife upgrading from her Huawei P20 in any time soon - especially with the loss of Google services.
Saying that, if someone developed a waterproof phone that had a headphone socket, frequent Android updates (and security updates), plenty of storage, a good camera, and a 4-5 day battery life it would fly off the shelves.
