If you’re buying the phone outright then that could work. Provided it’s supported for that long, and you can look after it well enough then I don’t see why not - you just have to be prepared to pay £800 all at once.
Part of my reasoning is the £400 cost keeps my monthly bill down, as I don’t buy the phone outright.
If nothing else, keeping one phone for 6 years would be better for the environment.
In my opinion it’s fine. I’m not super into photography or anything so take that with a big grain of salt. I don’t take too many pictures, but when I do they seem perfectly serviceable.
They’re never going to compare to a newer flagship, mind you.
All of this is more than I’m prepared to pay for a phone these days. It’s absurd.
I switched to a Nothing Phone 1 last year (about £400?) and it’s been more than capable of handling my daily usage.
I’ll keep the thing for three years, then upgrade to another mid-range. I don’t need to pay more than twice the price for hugely diminishing returns.
Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.
The sad part is that there’s a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.
I have a very, very limited understanding of the subject, so take this with a lethal dose of salt, but I’m under the impression that the US healthcare system is an absolute minefield, and not everyone has equal access to it, even via insurance, in the ways you might otherwise typically expect.
I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.
There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.
I’m like, 99% sure this is a repost of my own OC that I posted to Reddit years ago.
1 - I never thought that would happen. 2 - I was (and probably still am) kind of a dick 😅
Rawwwrr XD*

This would would probably work out very well.
As a parent with a 2-year-old, I’m already plotting my revenge for the teenage years.
Preach. If I could be any age forever it would probably be one of the ones from my days as a scene kid.
The glyphs are a fun gimmick. I wouldn’t say you’re likely to use them all that much.
Maybe Google around a bit and see what you can find. There will definitely be other mid-range phones that lean more heavily into the camera, but at this price you’re always going to be making concessions somewhere.
