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?

    Still using a 6.5 years old iPhone 7. Can't fine a downside, still runs perfectly well. The only thing that needed a replacement is its battery. I hope it holds for another 4.5 years (with battery replacements).

    I made the mistake of buying an international V20 model at the beginning of 2018, which didn't have VoLTE capability. When they started shutting down 3g networks here it could no longer make phone calls. :( If it weren't for that I'd still be rocking it

    Great video Juan. Your last point about lazy reviewers is why you're the only phone reviewer (he does way more than review phones people) in my subscriptions. And as far as android content goes, it's only Android Faithful & In Depth Tech Reviews. It's frustrating seeing reviewers increasingly go the pay to play route and often not even disclosing the fact their "review" is really just a commercial.

    I was hoping to see more recommendations in the comments but I'm sure that'll come in time.

    I was using my samsung S7 until the power button fell off a year and a half ago. Yes I would still be using it today if that didn't happen. I was still using it for like 6 months after too.
