It is still kinda amazing tbh, the last cheap phone I had b4 my 1st smart phone was some cheap as hell ATT go phone. That phone cost me like $15 the charge would last a week and the phone lasted me 2 years..

My 1st Smart phone was a Google Nexus 4. It was not a bad phone but with-in a year the touch screen was already screwing up due to every day carrying it around. I'm actually only on my 2nd smart phone now which is a Samsung Galaxy 4. It's held up well and still does everything I need so I can't see updating even though they are about to release galaxy 8 now.

TBH the battery on my S4 still holds a decent charge and worst case I can use a battery pack. The only issue I even have with the phone is the GPS doesn't like to update if I'm using it for directions, but if I just look at the map with out a route in the map the GPS works fine.

TBH the main reason I still use my old S4 is because I use it for ebay pictures and I don't want a newer camera as the picture file sizes will be bigger which slows uploads.
