I would seriously consider Feb 20th to March 6th for the S10+. That's really not that long if you think about it. Samsung usually drop it earlier if you order it during the week before launch. They don't really sell out either.

Well in short, if you want something to last 3-5 years, be prepared to take it for a service. One thing to take note is that a smart phone isn't really designed or even supported to last longer than 2 years. Lithium batteries only really last 500-1000 cycles which again is around 2 years if you charge once or twice a day. That counts as 1 cycle is = 100% of battery use, so 70% and charging , then going down to 30% and charging is 1 cycle (30 + 70 = 100); subject to other variables such as temperature and humidity. Samsung make solid phones, I use to go for Nexus', Pixels, and cheap Chinese flagships until I realised they just aren't using quality components. Take for example the Pixels Microphone, it's been terrible since the Nexus and it still hasn't improved, and the screen isn't as good as Samsungs yet Google are flogging them at £700+. Another fact of the matter is that Samsung directly do research and development plus the manufacturing of their screens and batteries so it wouldn't be a bad bet they pick the best for their flagships especially after the Note 8 issue they had. Obviously you could get unlucky and the phone stops working properly a day after the warranty expires (there's always Samsung service centres). To finally answer your question; it's always worth getting the latest smart phone as that will give you software support for longer plus any additional revisions they make to the hardware. Samsung sell dual sim S9s btw. You have to specify when you buy it.

Warthunder is good, but you have to be into planes (world war 2 era) - it's multiplayer only. It has very good mouse and keyboard controls, no need for a joystick. They will also soon add on warships and it has a tank mode - like world of war tanks. The damage model is also very good (both on the tanks/ probably the navel battles too and definitely the planes). You have arcade mode (difficult to stall and you can't spin) all the way to simulation (engine overheating, oil leaks, vertical stalls etc).

Better off flipping (buying/selling) coins if you believe they will go up.

Here are a few steps you can take, before you start, take temperatures as suggested. Reset your bios CMOS reset Resit the CPU cooler/ rethermal paste it hoover your machine update the BIOS

Your post has narrowed my search a bit here. I'm going to look into it. EDIT: The P2717H looks to be a model designed for business use hence the large verity of inputs it has, lack of AMD Fsync, and an adjustable stand. If you're not bothered about Freesync, then the P2717H has a lot more options built in. The trade off is input choice and stand (which you can replace anyway), or having freesync. I can't 100% say they are the exact same panel for sure though & I have not been able to find a P2717H review.
