    Phones could be more resilient to wear and tear in the first place, though. Glass in the back is the stupidest thing ever.

      My last upgrade was from an s7 to an s21. I finally had the money to buy it outright/unlocked, and jumped on it when I saw the model had a plastic back.

      Only downside is that AT&T won’t let me use visual voicemail because I didn’t buy it with their bloatware. I know it can be fixed, and I’ve tried a few things, but I just gave up in the end because it was too much hassle.

      It’ll probably be a long while before I upgrade again, but the fairphone does have my attention now. I’m already used to not having visual voicemail, so I’m sure I can adapt more to have the Samsung bloatware gone too. But I probably have another 3 to 4 years left with my s21 for now

      I have a Pixel 6 and it’s like they specifically engineered this thing to be as drop-prone as possible. Without a case, it’s SO slippery.
