It's hard to feel positive about upgrading my phone when every new phone seems to remove things I want while adding stuff I don't care about.
My S10e is a reasonable size in my pocket. It has a headphone jack. It has an SD card slot. Any new Samsung phone I buy will be missing these things, and I'll be forced to pay hundreds of dollars extra to increase the on-board storage that will still be far less than the 512GB sd card I've currently got in there.
And I could try switching away from Samsung, but then I risk losing even more features I take to be standard, like wireless charging.
The phone still works just fine, it's fast enough for my needs (although the battery is certainly worse than when I got it). I would be more than happy to pay like $100/yr for "extended" support on it to still get repairs and security patches, rather than having to chuck it in the bin.
