Oof, that has happened to me a few times! Sometimes I wonder if it was overheating. Nonetheless; I am glad you are getting a new phone! I recently got a new phone myself.
(Thanks to verizon giving my wife 400$ for her Iphone6)

That being said, I haven't had a new phone since the First Razr Flip phone came out!
(Hand-me-Downs are a glorious thing!)
I got that New Flip3 from Samsung, absolutely adore it.
Been using it for a few months now, and it was WELL worth it for me xD

Anyhow I am rambling! Glad you are getting a new phone and more so that your old one started working so you could get your stuff off of it!

i dont think it was overheating, the screen is ... in the easiest way to describe it... utterly fucked xD it is banged and cracked in like 4 or 5 places, and its gonna cost nearly 300$ to fix the screen.... or just get a new phone on my sim contract for like 20$ more a month. so imma take the 2nd option. My friend also works for the phone provider im on as well so i think he's able to get me discount for the samsung S22 or whatever the newest one is.
not that i need the newest phone, but if i can get it for basically the same price as an older one... well im gonna take it then xD

Right!? for me it was the same, the price monthly was just way better.

Glad you are able to get such a deal ^-^
Hope your next phones lasts even longer~
