Last week, I switched to a new phone , not because the old one was unusable, but having to charge it several times a day was really unbearable. I’m curious about how the Japanese manage to use a single phone for many years, which is quite puzzling to me. It might be because they don’t often use their phones for gaming. Long durations of mobile gaming can cause significant battery wear. However, I’ve noticed that the Japanese seem to have little interest in mobile games, and the same goes for PC games; they appear to prefer console gaming. This might be because the console gaming experience is richer and more immersive, allowing enjoyment on larger screens. Additionally, the quality of electronic products in Japan is generally high, and the Japanese are very meticulous in maintaining their electronic devices, which might also contribute to their ability to use the same phone for a long time. Furthermore, the consumer culture in Japan tends towards using and cherishing items for a longer period rather than frequently replacing them. This approach to technology reflects a broader cultural emphasis on sustainability and efficiency. Many Japanese people also prioritize functionality over the latest trends, focusing on what the device can do rather than its aesthetic appeal or newness. This practical mindset, combined with high-quality manufacturing standards, results in longer-lasting devices. They also often choose phones with replaceable batteries, which further extends the lifespan of their devices. This sustainable approach contrasts with the ‘upgrade culture’ prevalent in many other countries, where there’s a rush to get the latest model.It‘s my opinion.
