Had it for 2 years or something and it has a crack throughout a good length of the screen otherwise I’d keep it even longer.

buying cheap screen covers from dealextreme, 20 pieces at a dollar per piece, is what kept my mi max 3 running for 5 years and counting. it still has enough performance for anything i do on it and i don't plan throwing it away anytime soon.

Just ordered the 12 Pro since I got my paycheck yesterday, I'll definitely conserve it as much as possible and get some good screen protection and take my Note 10 with me if I'm gonna go out drinking or something.

That's what I'm saying today, watch me utterly destroy it within a week.

Edit: got the 8 gig version as well so it will definitely last way longer (+ custom roms), maybe I'll still use it in 5 years like you do ¯\(ツ)
