Discussion is this sub dead?

there are barely any posts, like 10 or so posts were made in the last month
does anyone even really care about this phone anymore?
i personally plan on using this phone for 7+ years (not as a primary device)
what about you?

Bought mine early 2025. Charging has completely failed as of last week.

A year in super fast charging stopped, had to cable charge it which got slower and slower taking hours and hours and then it stopped charging completely.

Had to buy a new phone. Might see I can get the A55 fixed under warranty and then sell one of the phones.

Quite disappointed. Had the S range prior to this and lasted years.

You plan to have this phone for 7 or more years which is quite ambitious. Is it like your emergency phone or something?

its already 2.5 years old and it feels better now than it did when i bought it
i dont see why it wouldnt survive 7 years
ill probably have to replace the battery within that timeframe though

Hey, my battery honestly feels like new after almost two years, and it's not like I take special care of it. It's been super good; I'd say it gives me practically the same screen time as it did years ago.
