I was going to hold onto mine for another year at least but the camera doesn't seem to work as of two weeks ago. I held out for 11.1 hoping it was a weird bug but that didn't do it. Must be hardware. Camera won't focus half the time and in video it won't stabilize at all.

I still use a Samsung S5 because of it's two radios - I can talk on a phone call and browse/charge a credit card/etc. at the same time.
The Camera on it started acting flaky about two weeks ago and it stopped getting pictures stored intact. So, I finally found a new open source camera app and it works perfect again. The default camera app seems to be buggy.
I wonder if a system update was engineered to 'encourage' a phone upgrade...
