How often do you change a new phone?

I change to a new phone every 2-3 years.

Until the phone totally broke or some important application no longer usable on it.

i buy used phones 1 or 2 generations behind.. but i'm happy with my galaxy s3, so i'll hold on to that phone for at least 1 more year. the new tech doesn't really bring much improvements, so that's the point?

I think every 1-2 years. I will keep using it until it is broken.

Not often really.
Probably 3-4 years in average per phone.
In fact, I change phone just when I have no other choice, because phone is broken

I'm not really scheduling when i change my phone, but the last time was almost 2 years until the screen is broken Cheesy

I use 6 different phones in the last 2 year. But i always buy the same brand.

until it has water damage or a cracked screen, so whatever happens first then ill get a new one

Rarely..I am using the same mobile phone for 3 years.
Have replaced the screen once about 2 months ago.

Pretty much I have the same approach. I only change phone when the old one is broken or it is too old. By old I mean like 5 years+. Other than than I don't use smartphone and I have phone without operating system. I don't understand people who needs to buy every generation of Samsung/iPhone. That is ridiculous in my eyes.

only when it's broken. i still have flip phone

Probably every 2 to 3 years. Like to buy a nice phone and stick with it for awhile.

Don't even mind the two year contracts because of that

More often that I wish I had too....usually 2-3 times per day for at least an hour plus overnight.

I was not scheduled when I have to replace the phone: D

but if I want to replace it, I had to wait a lot of money to buy a new mobile phone output with very good spec and my love

but in today to buy a gadget will never be satisfied, because more and more recent output is more tempting

I change every 1 - 2 years depending on the phone condition.

I only change my phone when it's broken.

My latest one got washed in the laundry by mistake. It's currently dumped in crystal cat litter haha. I read online that cat litter made out of silica (διoξείδιo τoυ πυριτίoυ) could effectively absorb the moisture that was traped in my screen. It seems to be working so far. So yeah, I only change phones every time my older one dies. I'm currently using my previous device that I thankfully didn't get rid off.

Same here. I have an s3 and it suits all my needs except I would like a bigger screen. So I'll probably end up getting a new Note 5 and gifting my S3 to family. I should have got the Note II back then...

I replace my old phone about every 8-12 months. Only recently did I realize I could upgrade to a newer old phone for "free" by purchasing the phone through a third-party rather than redirectly since my contract's up and I can re-enlist. No $45 or whatever it is to replace the phone, either.

I've never purchased a newer model of phone since the first one I bought something like three years ago. I just use it to route the data connection and as GPS when I'm driving some place I don't remember the route for, like when it's more than a block away. Grin
