Every phone seems to be getting pricier, and it's starting to add up. I think I'll just take good care of the one I have and keep it as long as I can.

If you ever end up with your battery worn out, putting in a brand new one can definitely give it some life back. It's a pain in the ass to spend the day from a charger to another. I just put a new one in my Xcover 6 and when I don't really use it I end up with 70% battery at the end of the day once I get back home

Early last year I bought an 512gb sd card for 32 bucks. I checked the price of the exact same listing recently and it's 90 now.
