Well sure, a 5 year old phone will lose most of these performance comparisons against modern phones, but will it lose badly enough for consumers to care?

    I wish my old phones would work that long. Performance usually isn’t the problem. It’s hardware degradation. Battery dying. Ports wearing out. Boot loops and crashing.

      I’m still running my Galaxy s4 with LineageOS. It’s on it’s third battery but works good otherwise. Doesn’t have the power of newer phones but all I need is a phone/email/text system, and the IR blaster is nice for controlling my tv/amp. I plan to run this thing until either it dies or I do.
