Some price noodling on phones.

In 2017, I paid £470 for a new OnePlus 5T - that's about £600 today adjusted for inflation.

The amortised cost is about £80 per year. Or about £100 today.

Would I buy a new / refurbished phone every year for £100? No 5G models at that price. Would it be a series of compromises each year?

I *could* buy a £600 folding phone. But am I confident it'd last half a decade of constant use?
