-It has been two years and my phone starts having issues. It lags, space is insufficient plus the display and the added features of some of the trending phones kinda make me feel my phone so ugly. Why is it that I have to buy a new phone every 2 years.

The answer to this question requires a whole lot of techie background. 

During the mid 2007 there was severe blow in a rapidly growing phone industry. It was the outbreak of an awesome operating system on which a wide developer community was developed. Yes, it was and is in fact the ANDROID. The average product life cycle of the cell phone has been falling. Until mid way after the breakthrough of android the rate of falling life cycle reduced. Confused? Expectation was that the falling average life cycle was predicted to continue with greater rates. How did the Android manage to pull down the rate? The answer to this is:

• Updatability: The enormous factor for any entity to survive is updatability and adaptability. Do you receive an android update every year?

-Yes

Well then it's gonna survive.

-Oh! Then why is it that I have to still change my phone every 2 years? I have Android!

One of the things engineers find a hard time enhancing the life cycle is the limitation of hardware. It is the hardware that exists all the time and exists all the time with no changes, no updates; hence it is not adaptable. Now a new question arises: can hardware be updatable? This leads us to the main point.

 There are some high abstraction components in developing the brain chip of the cell phone. An amazing technology of FPGAs can really make the brain chips make it hardware updatable. Comprehending this hardware updatability with special algorithms would in certain manner possibly raise the life cycle significantly. Perhaps! It should be accompanied by some pillar-hardware features that would contain modules that can be easily detached from the cell phone chassis. These pillar hardware features would be (the qualities that you look at when you buy a new phone ie.) Camera, Display, Touch and Memory (both RAM and internal ROM). These features, at most, are the key features to decide your choice of a new phone. If these features can be updatable then you would be less likely to say My phone is lagging so much! It does not have a camera as the new S6. My camera is so boring!
