My last phone I got immediately after the preceding years model. I wanted the experience of staying up to date just once in my life.
But before that? I've only had 9 phones total, and the first 3 weren't even smartphones. So in 23-24 years I've had 9.
So I average a little less than your 5 years, but I did hit 5 once between Pixel 2 and 7.
I immediately jumped to 8, and it's already 3 now, but other than some battery degradation it runs like new still. That's the main reason I left the 2 finally. Charges would last like 3 hours and newer versions of apps were struggling on the pokey hardware. The cracked screen didn't even matter too much to me, but when both cameras died it was finally time. I still have it, occasionally pop out out to be a lil cat TV.
