I got myself a Moto G5 for 200$ around a year ago. On an unrelated note,I see most of you are using phones with AMOLED displays from a few years ago as your primary phone. How is the burn in situation?
What mobile phone are you using?
Which ROM are you using? Still on the original battery or replaced it already?shant wroteNote 2, with custom rom

I'm using lineage OS, using an original replacement (since ~3 years), though my original still works as good as this one.Xsever wroteWhich ROM are you using? Still on the original battery or replaced it already?shant wroteNote 2, with custom rom
Very cool. Which Lineage OS version? Oreo?shant wroteI'm using lineage OS, using an original replacement (since ~3 years), though my original still works as good as this one.
Android 7.1.2, never did check if Oreo is available, i don't want to go through the process of flashing and reinstalling everything again.Xsever wroteVery cool. Which Lineage OS version?

A Samsung galaxy S7 I bought in 2016 while in Saudi Arabia on business for 480 riyals which seems much cheaper than phone prices in Lebanon.
AMOLED and burnin go hand in hand I'm afraid. It depends on your usage. For me, I send 50+ emails a day and use whatsapp and other messaging services quite a bit, so the keyboard is constantly displayed on the screen. I've experienced burnin within 6-8 months of owning a device, there is nothing you can do about it. More expensive phones (ie. phones that have better quality displays) will last longer without burnin.ap4ss3rby wroteI got myself a Moto G5 for 200$ around a year ago.

In 2016, the S7 was still the flagship Sammy phone and 480 SR is like ±130$.... something wrong with your story ;)VincentKeyboard wroteA Samsung galaxy S7 I bought in 2016 while in Saudi Arabia on business for 480 riyals which seems much cheaper than phone prices in Lebanon.

Ths is an image is the box with the 24 month warranty. I'm pretty sure that was how much I paid for it but, considering my age, I can always be mistaken.
I had the same impression...
It happens.
Burn in happened in my case under very very heavy usage, and in heavy usage I want to mean that the amount of time you open an app with certain static images displayed AND the amount of cpu usage that app is using and how hot it is making the phone.ap4ss3rby wroteI got myself a Moto G5 for 200$ around a year ago.

Some would say cpu usage and temperature of the phone isn't related to burn in, only the time that those static images are displayed, but here's my case.
I used to play a certain game, that has static images (bars) on top of the screen and on the bottom. When I started this game, I was so addicted to it, it's an augmented reality game just like Pokémon Go (in fact it is the base of Pokémon go made by the same company) anyway I used to spend at least 4-6 hours waking around, most of the times under the sun, playing with the game open (game had to be open in order to track my km walked) with those bars on the screen.
And right after every play session I had, which as I mentioned were repetitive 4-6 hours sessions every day, sometimes more, with the phone being stressed and hot especially on summer days.
Point is, that other than those 2 bars, I havent experienced ANY sort of burn ins on both of my note 4s. (even the burn in happens on one of them only).
Daily apps like whatsapp, Facebook, emails etc.. You don't have to worry about them.

I feel a bit weird saying this after seeing all you guys with phones lasting I donno how long.. I currently have a note8 but i normally upgrade to every phone that Samsung releases. The only phone I didnt upgrade to is the S9 because my mom got it and i didnt feel its better than the note. I like to play with ROMS, install new stuff exploit new features..

No worries man, i guess most of us would upgrade every 6 month / year if we had the budget.
Honestly i'm in love with my PH-1 but i'm starting to feel the need to switch.
On a side note i chose the phones of my family and close friends, so that helps to scratch the itch a bit too.
It's not weird. To each his own with his own means. Some people also care more about their smartphone than others. I know lots of people living with laggy Note3's, iPhone 6's and similar, or with cracked screens, cracked screen protectors still applied (will never understand this one)..... It's about priorities and disposable income.MrElie wroteI feel a bit weird saying this after seeing all you guys with phones lasting I donno how long..
