Everyone loves to upgrade their cell phones. First, you have the iPhone 8 and now, you want the iPhone X. The same thing goes for you have the Samsung Galaxy S8 and you want to change it into the Samsung Galaxy S9. Whoa, whoa! First things to consider: Does your cellphone still function like a new phone? Does your cellphone have cracks on the touchscreen? Is your cell phone fast? Do you have a space storage problem on your phone? Well, if your answers are positive, then why upgrade it? Look at me! I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 for four years. Does four years sound like a strong number to maintain your current cell phone? To me, that is a strong amount. Even though my cell phone looks old, it still functions like a new cell phone does.

I have had my phone since 2014. I chose the Samsung Galaxy S5 because my eldest sister advised me to get it. She was right about it because the Samsung Galaxy S5 was very decorative. I was fascinated by it so much that I wanted to buy it very badly. Touching it was like embracing the dark side. I took care of this great power within four years by protecting it with a wallet cell phone case. I made sure that I kept it inside of a safe bag and keep it in my hands without dropping it. Unlike most people in the world, I do not go on my cell phone very much.

I have busy ties with my home, academics, outside world, and hobbies. Whenever I see cracked cellphones, I feel very disgusted by it. The cracks are like scars that ruin the beauty of these innovations. Despite the fact that I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 for four years, I still do not want to purposefully break my phone to force myself to get a new one. I want the Samsung Galaxy S5 to last as much as it can.

The good part about not upgrading my cell phone is saving money. Upgrading a phone is very expensive. I do not want my parents to pay money over something that I can still use. I do not like the idea of wasting things like paper and time. I would upgrade my phone until the right time comes when it starts to function incorrectly by becoming slower. If I accidentally break the screen, then I have to replace my cell phone for a better screen. As for space storage problems, I can put my pictures in a flash drive for safety. My mother suggested that idea for me whenever the phone tells me to clean the storage so that I do not have to buy a replacement.

I understand that Christmas is a good time to upgrade cellphones and that people have their own reasons behind it. As for me, I believe that keeping the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the right decision. What matters the most for everybody is that his or her cell phone can still be used no matter how old and what type of cell phone it is.
