Do I need a new phone?

Starting to have accumulating problems with my phone.

Hitting the phone power button frequently does nothing, or, gives a 5-10 sec delay before the screen lights up.

Opening by fingerprint doesn't work over half the time.

Location sharing tones now work about 10-12% of the time.

Ring cameras give the assigned tone, often the phone default tone, but nothing about half the time.

Ring Camera notifications on my Watch6 only show a camera shot once every 2-4 weeks.

Incoming emails give no tone about half the time.

Settings on individual apps haven't changed.

Factory reset improved nothing.

Do I need a new phone or will these problems persist with an S24?

What Phone do you have now? I was told to switch my phone every 2 years. If your unable to call for help then yeah get a new phone. With your issues, that's depends if you have emails that are important. Missed notifications would make me want to get another phone, so yeah.

Posted in the S21 group so I didn't think I needed it in the body of my post.  Sorry.

If you delete the fingerprint and add it back it might fix the fingerprint issue
