It would be interesting to have numbers here, because I think that people are becoming more and more aware and tired of buying a 3-400 euro phone every 2 years.

What are the improvements these new phones carry along? I have a relatively old phone, but the only features I see with newer phones are the following: - better hardware, like more cpu, more ram, better camera - support for fingerprints - android updates There is actually an alternative, I wasn't aware of it: https://fairphone.com/en/ https://fairphone.com/en/ But hell, no, 2017 and they still offer Android 6.0! And it seems that they are more related to "fairness" in production, etc. It's the "eco" phone which is probably sponsored by green parties :) That's not actually what I meant in the parent comment, where I was asking for a company that produces simply "average" consumer-oriented phones. If these guys do it, why can't another company do the same?
