A great deal of the processor on phones and for people to upgrade aren’t necessarily the processor speed but a better ISP and also an accelerator to process pictures faster. The secondary reasons to buy a phone is getting a better camera and battery life / battery is nearing end of life.

Then again I upgrade phones if they come out in green also. My last upgrade was for a 120hz screen refresh rate.
