A cell phone should last between three and five years.
With the rapid development of technology, the cell phone industry is also improving. Many cell phone brands are constantly updating their phones with new models. But the life of a cell phone is still very short, and there are many reasons for shortening the life of a cell phone.
For cell phones, the cell phone battery is very important. If the battery is not good, the performance and life of the cell phone will not last long. Take for example. Although it is generally accepted that the quality of the iPhone is very good, the battery of the phone affects the use of the phone, and it is better after changing the battery.
If a cell phone user usually only uses the phone to make calls, send text messages or run necessary software, even a cheap $1,000 phone can last five or six years or even longer. On the contrary, if the cell phone users usually use the phone to play games, with a few thousand dollars of high-end machine may be two or three years no problem, but the next thing you will find that the smoothness of the phone's performance is not good, there will also be lagging software running slow.
Another important issue is how the phone continues to work over time. If its various features continue to work well, then you can easily use the phone for more than 2-3 years. However, if the system crashes frequently, we must troubleshoot the problem. Hardware issues do not necessarily indicate the need to replace your smartphone. Some of them can be repaired if the phone is still relatively new and under warranty.
Once the warranty expires, you have to pay for replacement parts yourself. This usually means we need the price of a brand new phone to fix a broken screen or other hardware. In short, a normal phone lasts about 3 years, after which it can suffer from severe battery lows, system crashes, and hardware damage, all of which are indications that you may need a new phone.
