Phones has been fast enough for me without upgrading to new hardware the last few years.

And with a Fairphone, it is actually feasible to repair and change battery once in a while :)

I'm what my friends can a tech enthusiast. The last 3 phones I have had have been sub AU$400 phones and I have been super impressed by them... a little concerned with the privacy and security of OnePlus, realme and now Oppo. But they are fantastic devices. Much better than the HTC and Samsung galaxy I had previously. I also have access to my wife's premium galaxy s20 plus and see zero reason to upgrade.
