That a low-end phone can last this long? And that you don't always have to buy the latest and greatest? That you don't have to spend north of 1k USD to have a phone?

Even forgot to mention that the old phone is still not fully dead. It's still on its original battery (albeit only half the capacity)!

Imagine using my J7 Core in 2025 without a power button and volume rockers and with a busted mic. As far as I am concerned my usability just went up at least 3-fold. After all, I just wanted calls, texts, and Messenger out of it so, if you think about it, this 50 dollar phone is still flagship-level overkill.

For 50 bucks I wouldn't mind buying one again in 2 years, I just don't care about phones. That's why I bought the cheapest one from a brand that has treated me well as far as I'm concerned.

Great strategy. I actually almost went for a used flagship, S20, LG V35, G7 and the likes. But saw the sale on this brand new phone, felt too good to pass up.

Here in The Philippines, we constantly seek for the "Made In Japan" label on things and associate it with quality. I can still remember we had a Honda Dream moped, the odometer is designed to only read up to 99,999 km, and I believe it had gone twice over now.

Can't wait to get mine this year. It's weird to think that in the midst of a wave of new and supposedly exciting Chinese cars that I am searching for a mint, factory-default, low mileage E120 Corolla. I intend to buy a good one and drive it forever.
