        Not the user you responded to but in my case nothing. My Xperia 10 III is still working well after three years so there no reason to buy a new one.

        Okay, I might be out of the OS support window so I might want to do see how AOSP does on my phone. But hardware-wise there’s really no reason to upgrade (and much less to a comically expensive device like in the video).

        “don’t need to upgrade my phone every year”.

        And neither do I. Currently running a (horror!) 2018 flagship on DivestOS. It’s faster than anyone’s phone that I know. Everyone is surprised at how fast my phone is.

        Paid $80 for it 3 years ago.

        Nothing. My current average phone life-time is 7 years, and the majority were second-hand already.

        I’ve spent under $400 a year on all my tech combined, including phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, accessories, toys, and anything else with a battery.

        If you get good tools, you don’t need to replace them.
