I've had an S4 for several years now and an S3 before that.

I'd be willing to keep my S4, but the (original) battery life is getting pretty bad. I have never had good luck with replacement batteries, so I'll probably replace the phone.

I guess I can't complain about 4 years from a phone/battery combination.
