I've got a Samsung S4 laying around that I hadn't used for years (it's 4 1/2 years old). Recently I fired it up just to check some things. As expected, it still runs beautifully for normal Web use across all sites. Other than the small form factor (which some people may prefer), it's easy to see how consumers might stick to older phones.

I'm tempted to dust my old Aviator off and repurpose it as a gba emulator or something.

except for the old android I don't see any problems with my S4, so I'll be using it for another 2 years. And I actually prefer that size, it's easy to use with one hand

I used my S3 until it died on me, a couple of months ago.

The S3 and S4 were pretty nice! Very slow flash, like every other Android back then, but good screens and very capable GPUs. (Since then screen size increases have outpaced GPU speed bumps, so modern phones don't always draw any faster.)
