My last upgrade was from an s7 to an s21. I finally had the money to buy it outright/unlocked, and jumped on it when I saw the model had a plastic back.
Only downside is that AT&T won’t let me use visual voicemail because I didn’t buy it with their bloatware. I know it can be fixed, and I’ve tried a few things, but I just gave up in the end because it was too much hassle.
It’ll probably be a long while before I upgrade again, but the fairphone does have my attention now. I’m already used to not having visual voicemail, so I’m sure I can adapt more to have the Samsung bloatware gone too. But I probably have another 3 to 4 years left with my s21 for now
Phones could be more resilient to wear and tear in the first place, though. Glass in the back is the stupidest thing ever.

I have a Pixel 6 and it’s like they specifically engineered this thing to be as drop-prone as possible. Without a case, it’s SO slippery.
My phone is plastic, it’s still getting long in the tooth now
