Smartphone Longevity

Smartphone Longevity refers to the durability and lifespan of a smartphone, encompassing its ability to remain functional and relevant over time. This concept includes factors such as the hardware’s physical resilience, the software's capacity to receive updates and support for evolving apps, and the availability of replacement parts or repair services. High smartphone longevity means that a device can continue to perform well and meet user needs without significant degradation in functionality, often extending beyond the typical two to three-year usage period before the device becomes outdated or unusable. Factors that contribute to smartphone longevity include build quality, battery life, the manufacturer’s commitment to updates, and overall design. A focus on longevity can also encourage sustainable consumption, as users are less likely to replace their devices frequently, reducing electronic waste and promoting a more environmentally friendly approach to technology.
