Why do phones need to upgrade every year anyway? I have a Samsung S6 and its perfect.

Answer: They don’t, but the battery in them does.
The typical battery for a cell phone will last about 3 years with slight performance drop as the battery ages. Here’s the zinger. If you get a spare battery for the phone when you get the phone itself, and just keep it in a drawer, unused until needed, it will be at the end of its life just like the battery in the phone. It really needs to be new not sitting on a shelf in storage.

Ditto on my S5 and her Note4. Just replaced the batteries in both and we are good to go! I have no need to pay insane amounts to replace a device that don't need replacin'!
