I got my first phone in 2018, which was an ancient Samsung Galaxy S4, and now I have my second phone which is a Samsung Galaxy A40 which I got in 2019

Oh heck, erm...

I remember a definite 7 but I can't rule out that there might have been one or two more over the years that I could've forgotten.

This is since 2000 so we're talking 23 years.

First phone was a blue and orange nokia in 2009 for in case I got lost as a kid. I lost that phone on the number 10 bus in London. :colonhash:

Then I had an alcatel, my first *real* phone in 2013. I then had 3rd gen cast-offs of my mum's free work phones, which meant a cool sideways flip phone (I *think* a nokia?), a blackberry, iphone 4, 5s and 6. I'm now on my 7th phone which I've had for nearly three years but serves me well.

I've owned 8 phones (that I remember anyway) since 1998.

First one I had was a purple Nokia 5110, purely because the company I worked for at the time got a good contract deal going for them.

I have had 4 smartphones till now. I lost two of them and sold one. My current phone is the one that I purchased using my finance.

4 since 2015/2016

Honestly not sure. Had a phone for about 22 years, average maybe one every 2 years but also replaced 4 that were broke, so between 11 and 15, I think.
