The one I had before that lasted over three years, but that one was much more of a struggle to use as it had obviously slowed down (especially in terms of custom ROM development ceasing in such a short space of time) and the only reason I hadn't swapped so soon was a combination of stubbornness that it should have performed better and lasted longer, and wanting to make sure I had value for money when choosing a potential replacement.
