Which phone are you buying that lasts more? After two years the battery life nose dives, flash memory becomes slower, software updates become scarce. And by that time I usually have a broken screen.

Good thing I only spend 200€ every two years on the latest trustworthy moto g. Clean google experience, no bloatware, nice gesture actions.

A 1k€ phone would have to last 10 years to give comparable value, and I doubt it exists since battery and flash memory tech is the same no matter the price.
