Only Seventeen Months...

Back in July of 2023 I posted that it was time for Phone #6 - at that time I'd concluded that my existing phone had become slow, wasn't holding a charge, and the storage had become way too full. I then proceeded to do nothing about it.

The week before last, something happened to that phone that has damaged the charge circuit - it still works, but it will no longer "fast charge". That's probably a failure of the USB-C port such that it can no longer negotiate power needs. Regardless, it meant that that was no longer any ducking the issue, and it was time for a new phone.

So I've now purchased said new phone. The good news is that I now have a clear view of my needs (or lack thereof), and they're such that any smartphone on the market would meet them. And since the old device is seven years old, literally any phone on the market will be superior in every way.

The consequence of that is that I have bought the second-cheapest smartphone offered by the same vendor as the old one. Now I just need to set it up.
