The internet speed has increased a lot since 2000. Pixel size, colors and camera have also improved a lot, since 2011 I don't feel the need to buy new phones. Mobile internet was already good enough for me with 3G.

It looks like I change phone very often but that's not the case.

I have 2 phones: one for work, one for private use.

I have been using Sony Ericsson T700 as work phone until 2015, when I got a Samsung Galaxy A7. The Sony Ericsson T700 is still connected to a computer with a USB cable for sending SMS to myself.

The Nokia N900 runs linux, I stopped using it because using it as a phone it was not so practical so I bought an iphone.

In 2015, I got a new work phone, the Samsung Galaxy A7.

I used the iphone 4s until 2017 when the battery died and I bought an iphone X.

My son broke the iphone X screen so I bought an iphone 12 pro max.

In 2021, the battery of the galaxy A7 became swollen and I got a new work phone, the galaxy S21.

I plan to use the iphone 12 and the galaxy s21 for as long as possible.

Ultimately, I want a good enough phone running linux mainline, a distribution like postmarketOS. I have a pinephone and ordered a librem 5.

The first phone with a music player is the Ericsson T28 (add-on)

The first phone with a camera and a color screen is the Ericsson T68 (add-on, VGA resolution, low quality)

The first phone with a decent camera and decent screen is the iphone 4s

The camera in iphone X is good but it takes a second to take the first photo

The camera in iphone 12 pro max is good and fast. It takes a bit less than a second to start recording videos.
