I have an old cheap smartphone that I have wanted to replace for many years now. But any time I check the market it has been mostly more boring phones bloated with features and hardware that I care nothing for. The only thing that actually has me a bit excited are foldable or rollables, though I'm stuck in a endless "just wait one more generation" loop. I am gonna have to break it soon.
If it makes you feel any better, the day you finally pull the trigger, they will release a new generation with massive improvements. So it's smart to keep waiting until you're old and frail.
Same. It just seems like a really cool feature. Bought an cheap Poco pro to postpone the purchase a couple years as I was fed up with the battery dying within hours on my old smartphone. I can wait another 4 years, the feature will be just as fun then I figured.
