There's not a single feature added to phones during that time worth replacing working device for average user.

  Fingerprint sensors. I don't miss the times where I had to always enter my passphrase on unlock at all, massive time saver. Also not being stuck on an ancient version of Android - though I don't know what the custom ROM community for that phone is like, perhaps some soul is still porting newer versions to it.

    seems to still be maintained by Replicant https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxySIIGTI9100 https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS... which seems to be outdated by about 5 years now https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeviceStatus#Replicant-60 https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeviceS... i admire how long devices could be used, if they just were to receive security updates...

      If I had more time, I would've liked to create my own ROMs for some of my old devices (more specifically, kernels). If hardware manufacturers published a list of their own patches to the source tree (rather than the typical "single commit/zip file of the entire linux kernel") then it would make community maintenance of old devices much easier.
