A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As an FP4 owner, what is the point of getting an upgrade? I don't use my smartphone beyond calls and texts and a Lemmy app and listening to music.
What can you do on a new phone that you can't do on an old phone?
Honest question, I'm not being facetious.
It's great for people running at the end of their phone's lifespan such as those with pixel 5as and iphone 8s.
I am not dissing the phone, if I was in the market it would be a no-brainer, I am just interested in what a new phone could give me and when should I plan to switch.
Perhaps at the end of software support, that’s how I do my upgrades.
Same. Unless it stops getting security updates or has been dropped to the bottom of the sea, I'm holding on to the phone I have.
