I upgraded twice from Redmi note 7 to Redmi note 9 to poco X4, only reason I updated was because my siblings lost their phones and I saw it as an opportunity to try a newer version of something I liked.
I donβt think Iβll upgrade unless the new phone also has an IR blaster and headphone jack. The IR blaster is so incredibly convenient
Iβve tried several times but it always ends up in just losing touch again as we used to have a common place to frequent, so most of those friendships were due to location. I used to be best friends with a guy for around 7 years in elementary and middle school, found him a decade later, messaged him, everything goes well and we talk on the phone, game a bit but after a few weeks everything just goes silent.
We tried to rekindle two more times but I guess not going to the same places daily or working together makes friendships almost impossible.
