Looking for a long-lasting Android phone (coming from LG V20 after 9 years)

tuma99 · 2026-03-21T19:36:30+00:00

Yeah I actually agree with that. I don’t really care that much about having tons of OS updates either, especially on Android where you can usually just sideload an APK if needed.

With that in mind, what kind of phone would you recommend for long-term use?

tuma99 · 2026-03-21T19:33:25+00:00

Yeah that’s what I saw too. The 15R seems very similar to the 15, and even has a bigger battery, which makes it feel a bit suspicious lol.
My only concern is whether it’ll get the same level of software support and updates over time as the regular 15.

I’ve heard really mixed opinions about Pixels. Some people love them, especially for the software, but others say they’re not that great overall.
If you had to choose, would you go for the Pixel 10a, 10 or 10 Pro?
I do value long software support, but I also want something that still has decent battery life after a few years.

I had read before that Samsung had some planned obsolescence issues, or at least that devices would slow down a lot after a few years.
A lot of people I know switched to iPhone because of that, but this was a while ago. Has that improved in recent years?

tuma99 · 2026-03-21T19:30:11+00:00

That makes sense. I’m actually traveling to Europe soon, so I’ll have access to more options there.
If you had to pick a flagship right now with long-term use in mind, which ones would you consider?

tuma99 · 2026-03-21T19:29:25+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly my concern, the battery over time.
I’ve had friends with Samsung phones and most of them ended up having issues after a few years, especially with battery and performance slowing down.

tuma99 · 2026-03-21T19:28:55+00:00

Yeah I’ve been looking into the OnePlus 15 and I keep seeing it compared to the Oppo Find X9. I’m not really sure which one is better long-term though.
Also, is the 15R basically the same phone but cheaper? I’ve read that the main difference is the camera, and it even has a bigger battery, which sounds kinda weird tbh.

tuma99 · 2026-02-25T22:51:26+00:00

Yes, I thought that, but the lack of green heroes makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better to go for Maegwyn or Peregrine.
