What current features would make you upgrade from an old Android smartphone?

This is not a "what phone should I buy" question. I use a smartphone from 2013, and I do fine with it. Over five years later, I'm wondering if in the past few years there would be a feature (or features) that stand out enough to warrant shelling out for a late-model phone?

For example, I learned about Project Treble and that made me seriously consider upgrading. Also it seems that phones are getting more durable, and I've thought of that as a good feature.

What are your thoughts?...
