How often do you get a new phone

[Mo5]

I recently went through all my old phones and there were 14 of them. If I do the maths then that comes out as 1 phone every year and 2 months.

I'm curious about others...

[Cacao]

I pretty much upgrade every generation, so similar to you.

[zip2k4]

I've had 6 phones so far, and the current one have a cracked screen - so will be changing soon...

 

but that's not so bad considering my age...

[Matsy]

Never really, I use a old flip phone which will only get replaced by another flip phone if it brakes.

About every 1 year and 9 months.

usually between 8 months and a year and a half so about the same as you its either due to me trashing them when im snowboarding or mountain biking or i just get sick of them and want something new lol

[TheDigitalRealm]

Usually it's every 21 months, since I upgrade my contract a few months before it ends. The only reason I would ever do it sooner is if I felt my phone to be incapable of performing tasks I want it to anymore. If it gets too slow I'll replace it. 

 

I have HTC One at the moment, and being a power user I stretch it to it's limits. Still, it hasn't ever lagged on me so so far so good. 

[TheArium]

I think about every 2 years. For me that's when you can really see the difference in the features of the "old" and new handsets. I may be keeping my current one for longer though (unless the Nexus 5 is amazing and not too expensive). Phones are expensive as you know.

[Dudenstein]

When I'm eligible for an upgrade. I have used the original Motorola Razer Phone for a while until I went to the LG Dare to the HTC Incredible and now I have the Razer Maxx. I love the maxx because of the great battery life and right now the only phone that interests me is the Droid Maxx for the battery life again lol. There's no point in great features if your battery is dead

[ttam]

Normally once a year

[Mooshi]

If it can call and text, I'm not fussed on fancy extras. Definitely not Apple's target audience haha. Audio phone quality sucks compared to Skype and if I wanna game, that's what the 3DS is for. 

[chaozbandit]

I've been through three phones. One every 4 years for me I guess? 

[dklhs90]

Yeah i get a new phone everything a flagship comes out from the S or Note series because i like the TouchWiz UI

[swifty7]

well!!!  I went from the original iphone to 4s and I will keep on using it until it breaks or Apple comes out with an iphone with 5" 1080p screen.

[Cad6500]

whenever my Dad gets a new phone, he gives his old one to me (for the last couple of phones now). Now I have a cherry mobile titan (rebranded konka w990)

[Patramix]

had a new phone every other month back when i worked at a store that sold cell phones, that was fun times, lol, tried every phone that came out between 2002 and 05/6...

 

past 4 years only had a 3gs, galaxy nexus(my backup phone), Note(only had it for a few months to try it out) and S4 witch i currently use

[Langdon]

Hoping to replace my first phone soon with a Nexus 5, so that'll be just over 2 years.

[SirReallySam]

I've had 10 but like 3 of them was the same phone that kept on breaking and was still under warranty. and btw it's broken AGAIN D: first phone I've had that has broken for no reason, a couple I did put through the wash and I can understand that but this one just breaks for no reason D: anyways to answer your question maybe 1 a year averaged out.
