Slowdown has actually been the only reason I ever replaced a phone. Somehow the manufacturer sent an update and stuff turned to molasses, and that has been my trigger to get a new phone each time. There's no excuse for this, it's not like the apps I use are especially demanding. I've written a few apps on the side, and most of the ones I use should just be your average mashup of buttons, pictures, and REST calls. Besides, the slowdown comes when the OS is updated, so it's probably not the apps changing. I'll never get another Samsung, even though I don't know if they did it deliberately, or if it was even them that did it. Somehow my current phone has lasted 3 years with no appreciable slowing.
