Think of it this way- you want to buy Samsungs latest S8 or S8 Plus or iPhone 7.
The cost of these products makes you ask yourself this question.
Is buying such an expensive smartphone really worth it?
So it is a one-time investment for many of the folks out there.
That is the reason we are looking to how long any flagship smartphone will really last.
Most of the top smartphones available today are dust and waterproof.
We take a look at the most important aspect of the longevity of all the above smartphones.
Build:
Most of the above smartphones are built with high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum.
Some of them are unibody while others have a separate back cover.
Waterproof:
Many of the above smartphones are waterproof.
Specs:
Specifications are also important to check out the longevity of any smartphone.
All the above smartphones run on the fastest processors available in the market.
Ditto for Apple iPhone 7/7 Plus which runs on A10 Fusion.
All the above phones come bundled with top quality graphics chip and are available with 6GB to 8GB RAM.
All the above smartphones come with at least 64GB internal storage.
Display
Most of the above smartphones come with a 1080P AMOLED screen.
Others who do not have an AMOLED screen come with IPS screens.
For any smartphone to last longer, it has to have a nice grip and a good tough body.
Samsungs Galaxy S8 and Apples iPhone 7 really feel good in your hands but are equally slippery.
Googles Pixel and LGs G6 easily score over Samsung and Apple on the grip front.
Battery:
The battery is one of the most important features for owning a long-lasting smartphone.
Having a removable battery helps you to keep owning your smartphone by just replacing the battery.
Sadly, many of the above smartphones come with a non-removable battery which makes it difficult to replace.
But the battery will eventually die.
Software:
All the above smartphones run on the latest version of the operating system.
All Android smartphones listed above run on Android 7.0 Nougat while iPhone 7/7Plus runs on Apples proprietary 10.3.2.
Conclusion How long will my new expensive smartphone really last?
If youre looking at average to above-average usage, the phone is probably good for 4 to 7 years.
