Flagship phone or midrange + upgrade more often? — follow-up

Smart watch battery is my deciding factor now; everything else is good enough.

After years of flagships I switched to a midrange phone and honestly barely notice the difference.

My e-ink reader gets more use than my tablet — the battery lasts weeks.

Handheld PCs turned my commute into actual gaming time instead of doom-scrolling.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Midrange + faster upgrade cycle is the best value play, agreed.

The handheld I picked has replaced my console entirely.

Two-week battery or nothing — daily charging killed watches for me.

That has been my experience as well.

Custom ROMs gave my old phone three extra years of life.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.
