Enjoy your new phone...! I have a Xiaomi Lite 8 and am enjoying the specs and definitely upgraded to a better phone camera.

Oh and I don't know about you, but if my old phone is still working - regardless of why I had to upgrade to another phone - I would still use it for certain tasks like taking pictures, playing games and/or use as a separate music phone. That way you still get your use out of it.

Thanks! :) And that's a good idea re: still using the old phone, I was wondering if I can still do things like that without the SIM card in it!

I don't know if it's because we're living in a country still in development or not, but we're really thinking about how to get the most use out of our tech gadgets. !LOL 😅

In some cases we gave the phones away, because someone had lost or broken their phone and wasn't able to buy a new one immediately. If not, then we use the gadget for those mentioned purposes, so that the newer phone doesn't get weary as fast.

I usually use my phones until they are broken. Having a still-functional phone that I had to upgrade because the system was leaving me behind is a new thing to me.
Usually people gift or resell their phones here if they upgrade but still have a good phone too. But mine won't be able to connect to a network anymore, so I'll probably use it as dual camera action for my videos. :D

Yeah, so those online games won't be able to open up or be updated and if you listen to music online that won't be possible. It could also be used as a (backup) storage, but definitely functional as a second camera.

I usually use my phones until they are broken.

That's the rule we live by mostly but I had phones that stopped functioning, because of broken glass or not enough storage, that I had to buy a better working one.

I once had a phone, that it seemed as if a ghost was typing the screen, while I was using it for something else all because of broken glass. !LOL It didn't give me much trouble when playing music though 😂.

In the long ago before smartphones were really a thing, I had a couple of what you might call proto-smartphones; then after that I actually stepped down and went back to simple phones at the time where everyone else was just starting to buy things like iPhone or whatever, because a) money but also b) I had already discovered that I was spending too much time doofing around on my phone checking facebook or whatever and I felt like having it in my pocket was too tempting. So for many years, I was using old fashioned phones like flip phones even when nearly everyone had a smart phone.
One time I was in the store and the cashier saw my phone and said "It's like a phone from ANOTHER TIME PERIOD!!" and I was like ...it's two years old, dude. 😂
Anyway, I did eventually go back to smartphones but that time without them broke that habit of always checking my phone. So I don't feel like, addicted to the internet in my pocket anymore, and so I don't use it for a lot of things that other people do like playing games (I usually keep one game on there for if I'm bored waiting for a bus or something, but something simple like Mahjong or Sudoku). Also, I never had this much memory on a phone before so a lot of the very space-taking things I just couldn't do. I only downloaded some music to this phone for the first time ever!

Having not enough memory was one of the reasons why I bought another phone, while the other was still working, because it became too much of a hassle to delete and there were some apps I used that needed enough storage 😅.

But I can do without my phone if I want to though. For instance, when I'm away for the weekend and am actually enjoying my company and surroundings. I only need to check the phone if someone has called or texted.
