The tough part will be with phones. More companies are adding 5g which inherently raises the price. But, you are also future proofing yourself for the time if/when 5g does become available within your area.

The issue with getting a 5g phone right now (especially android) is that the phone OS may not be supported in 5 years when 5g readily becomes available.

If you can swing $2,000 for the Z Fold 2. Do it. it's fun to hold the future in your hand. But i wouldn't get the phone strictly for 5g. You can pick up a pixel and spend the other $1,500 on cigars.

The other option you can do with your s10 is root it and load a custom rom onto it. lineage OS is readily available for the device and will keep is running smooth for years to come.
I like the idea of the custom rom.. I'm not that familiar with the process of rooting a phone, so I'm a little leary of something like that, I'm afraid I'd brick my phone, with my luck.

Hmmm buy a pixel and spend $1500 on cigars, car parts or guns.....decisions, decisions....
