    What is the reason your S10 is on it’s last legs? If you see yourself needing a lot more power, maybe the FP5 isn’t the best bet for you because you’re right, it might not be useful to you in the later years of it’s life. However, I’m not sure what people are doing with the current top-of-the-line SoCs to justify that much power (if people want it to play games or for non-practical reasons, that’s fine too). As an S10e user, I feel like we’ve come to a point where my current phone should be powerful enough for the foreseeable future. My only issues are I’m no longer getting official software updates (I’ll probably go with a Custom ROM soon), my battery life is a bit shorter than I’d like, and parts are getting hard to come by with most being “new old stock” at best.

      I don’t think I need more power. The charging and headphone ports don’t work (so need to use wireless charging) and battery life is quite poor. I don’t feel like the phone is too slow or anything so I imagine the FP5 would be plenty of power.

        Have you looked into having your S10 serviced? I was willing to have my charging port changed a few weeks ago, but the technician chose to clean it first, and that’s worked perfectly and was even cheaper. Is your battery in poor health and might need to be replaced?
