Nope. The only old phone I'm still impressed by was the old Motorola Razor flip phone. I had a blue one and my wife had a pink one. The number of times that phone rode through the washer and dryer without ever hesitating was amazing.
My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S10. It's the first smart phone I've had that hasn't started glitching after the first two years. I ordered it on July 29, 2020, and it's still going strong with no signs of stopping. I've never been forced to do so much as factory reset it. Every previous phone I've spent the last year or so I had it trying to coax it into lasting just a little longer.
I've replaced the factory-installed screen protector and the otter case I bought for this phone once. When I had the phone out of the old case and stripped of the screen protector, it still looked brand new.
I just recently replaced my Samsung S10 with a Pixel 8 after about 7 years. I gotta say, it was a pretty good phone. It actually still worked okay when I replaced it, the battery life has just gotten bad enough that it rarely lasts a day which is frustrating to use. Also, I didn't realise it at the time but some of Samsung's stock apps are very good compared to stock Pixel. I don't mean the obviously Samsung branded stuff, but like, the launcher and the clock app had certain features I just assumed were standard on Android but haven't been able to find since.
Samsung have their problems for sure but they can make a good phone.
The og Razr was truly a masterpiece. Sitting on a table, it's vibrations could wake the whole house.
I firmly believe you could use it to chock the wheel of your car to prevent it from rolling while you changed a flat, and the phone would still work like new when you were done.
