I am running CrDroid on a €150 Redmi shitbox and I don’t have any trouble opening websites. I don’t even look at processing power when picking a phone, all I need is headphone jack, fingerprint unlock, e-sim: whoop, filtered 1000 phones down to 2.
But using a phone for 10 years? You’ve used yours since 2016? Or do you mean that no phone ever lasted for 10 years, but this next one surely will?

Well, the old Redmi (from early 2017 - almost 10 years - if it had a slightly better CPU, it would have been fine - static websites run tolerable, but I do need web-apps relatively often) still fully works (after replacing the battery) - so the (edit: new) phone will probably last at least 10 years, but will it do things I need decently fast - fuck knows, it will probably be way better than the lowest performance device I could find.
I used the Redmi since around 2022, but it was used by my dad since 2017. So it could be relatively fine this time.
