I am using my S10+ for 4 years now and I have no reason to get a new phone apart from the lack of updates. It feels old without updates, if you understand what I mean. What is a big downside for not getting any updates anymore? Security maybe?

Coming from Apple my old IPhone was supported for what felt like ages.

I could spend the money on a new phone but I don’t really see the point. I don’t want to spend it just so I can get new updates. The S10+ just feels perfect, it’s crazy to me how good the battery is + performance and everything else. The phone also just looks good. It has no fault apart form regular updates.

Could you maybe list some reason why I should get a new phone or why I should still wait.

    Spouse and I both have the S10+. We’ll both be holding on to ours until they die. To me, is a perfect phone, so unless apps stop working or there’s a problem, I don’t see any need to upgrade.

        Soon they won’t ship them with batteries and you’ll be able to find suitable replacements like we have for cables and chargers.

        Get non genuine ones. That’s most batteries running on older phones that needed a replacement around the globe (same for screens).

        No point in using a genuine battery over it if it won’t hold a charge.

      I miss giving up my S10+, it was a great phone. I replaced it with an S21u and just don’t feel the same love for it.
