    My previous phone I had for almost a decade I think, it was an s5 galaxy I think. I used it until it refused to turn on.

      The previous three phones I replaced were because:

      • Fell off a shelf and shattered to the point of unusability
      • Stopped turning on
      • I wanted to try Graphene, but wanted a fall back if I broke something (after becoming confident Graphene would meet almost all my needs, I ended up sending the backup phone to a friend, so it didn’t go to waste)

      I had a s5 for nearly that long. It stopped charging and a replacement charging port didn’t work. bought a s10+ 1tb dirt cheap and its been nearly three years.
