What phone are you using?
Samsung A52
2 years means I wouldn't buy a new version of it but it's quite common to buy a phone for up to a year before a replacement model arrives, so potentially this phone is just over a year old.
Not only that, but usually it gets security updates longer than that. Personally, I would expect a phone to last 3 years minim and be usable for 5.
Even with 2 years it’s not going to suddenly drop to 3 minutes to load a web browser, I’m calling network errors on this one
My S9+ is over 5 years old and pages only take 5-10 seconds to load, even with the dark mode add on
The A52 came with a decent SoC, two years won't make it out of date.
Had the a52 5g before. It did become quite sluggish over time - and wasn't smooth even to start with.
That's not caused by user bloat - it was just as slow when I reset it before selling it.
Now I have a xiaomi 13 and it does everything basically instantly
Most google phones get security updates for 4 or 5 years. If you're dumping phones after 2 years then you must like to spend unesessary amounts of money.
