I've been thinking about if I should get a new phone. There is nothing wrong with this one, it's just a few years old. Something more up to date would be nice I guess...

If you are thinking about getting a new one, I’d go and try some display ones at the store and see how they look and feel. Then if you decide to get a new one, sell your old one. Back your stuff up and it should be good.

Though there’s nothing wrong with an older phone, 4G LTE will still be around for another ten years I believe.

@Odisaodi: You do get additional stuff like larger storage, more ram, faster processor, higher quality camera, features like underscreen fingerprint scanner and 5G. Phones are computers, so it scales pretty similarly to something like laptop or prebuild desktop - faster and larger components and more features.
Like 10 years ago, buying low-mid tier phone would get you into so many bottlenecks that you would want to throw the phone out the window when there's not enough space to even install discord and browser would lag opening new tab, but nowdays, even low-mid tier stuff is more than useable.

I got myself ROG phone 5. Reasonings are that it has enough specs to run everything I want to run on it, triggers on phone itself and game overlay with useful features, headphone jack with front facing super loud stereo speakers, flat screen with no notches or holepunches, battery that lasts for two days, enough space for everything, etc. etc. and also money wasn't an issue.
