I've had a Samsung S8 for 4.5 years now, and it is still okay.

Yeah it shows that it is old. The battery and performance is worse than before, but it still lasts the day as I am not using it that hard. I have no legitimate _need_ to upgrade as it stands today.

I guess the frequency of upgrades quite heavily on usage, but I find upgrading every 2 years to be very often.

I believe the more you spend on a phone the more you're inclined to endure the performance degradation. With a cheap phone it's easier to let it go and buy a new one, so you always have a new, fast and updated device
