I've been using my Huawei nova7i for 5 years now, and it's been a reliable companion. Lately, though, it's starting to show its age. The back cover is loose, the camera quality has drastically declined, and I'm constantly battling storage issues—even though I have 128 GB, it's filling up fast. Plus, the lack of Google Play services has turned downloading apps into a major hassle for me, especially with the emulation method I've been using, Gspace, which rarely works. Should I bite the bullet and get a new phone, or am I fine sticking with what I have?

Honestly, it sounds like you might be fine for a bit longer! I've had my Moto X4 for 7 years, and while it doesn't get updates anymore, it still works great for my needs. If the main issue is with downloading apps, you might check out alternatives like Aurora Store or even directly installing apps from GitHub if they have that option available.
If you’re worried about the battery life as well, that’s a big factor in choosing whether to upgrade or not. I usually switch phones every two years and go for something in the low to mid-range category. My current phone, a VIVO Y33S, has been surprisingly good!
Haha, I can relate! My dad would freak out if I told him I wanted to upgrade every two years, especially with how the dollar is right now!
