How do Android phones hold up over time (2 or more years)?

In my experience, not so well (my Note 4 had a battery drain issue that was likely software-related, as even a fresh battery didn't help, after less than 2 years of use). My friend had a mid-range Android smartphone that had the same issue but, to be fair, I don't know how old it was.

​

I really want to get the Note 10+ but may need it to last quite a while and want to make sure I am making a good choice in this respect. I am hoping my experience -- and that of my friend's -- were uncom...

I have the Galaxy Buds+ AMA

- Voice recording seems to be a lot bett...
