Replace Galaxy S9 or Wait It Out?

Still hanging onto my Galaxy S9—it technically works, but it’s slowing down. Apps like YouTube, Spotify, and my smart camera app lag when opening. Sometimes the time goes way off if I haven’t used it in 30 minutes, and it’s slow to wake up. The charging port is the biggest headache. I have to plug it in just right to get even a slow 3-hour charge after a full day’s use. Fast charging almost never works anymore, even after I tried cleaning the port. Would grabbing a wireless charger solve at least the charging issue? Or is this a sign it’s time to upgrade? For what it’s worth, this S9 has held up way better than my old S3, which was barely limping along by year 7. Would love to hear your thoughts—keep pushing it or finally move on? #GalaxyS9 #FrugalTech #PhoneUpgrade #KeepOrReplace #WirelessCharging #OldPhoneStruggles #BudgetDecisions #SmartphoneLifeHacks #FrugalLiving #AndroidUser
