Now obviously they have a battery. They can't last a lifetime unless you switch them once they can't hold a charge anymore.

So with this in mind. Have you ever had a phone that lasted a long time without having to replace the battery or I shouldn't be looking at Android phones if I want it to last a long time? I'm talking about 7+ years here.

I usually just purchase a refurbished or used phone every 2-3 years for $200ish. The s25 is tempting me with its holiday deals but I don't know if it's the best value. High camera quality, mainly video, is the most important feature to me.

It seems like they usually go down in value by $100 each year. I wonder at that point if it's worth it to get a new phone now then anyway as it ends up being about the same cost.

Why I want to upgrade: Camera quality is decent but not the best, the battery has been dying faster, more storage would be useful(128gb currently).

I definitely prefer a smaller form factor in a phone. The ultras seem too big for me. Though if they're better value I might compromise.
