I mean, yes of course they will over time just as with any piece of tech. Use a phone every day for years and not only will it collect cruft, but successive (and probably not optimised for older stuff) OS updates will take their toll.
I do wonder how the 7 year guarantee will actually work out in practice, especially now after (especially semi-private local) AI has become a thing. I think we'll probably be back in the early 2010's in that respect in that after probably three years your phone will start becoming very creaky, since the requirements for SLM's / MLM's will exponentially increase.

No; plus all the additional apps etc
But overall just gone off their phones full stop
The last, best one, IMO, was the Note 20 Ultra 5G - that was hell of a phone IMO
Any idea why?
I used the S23U for almost a year and my son now has it. Neither of us have seen any slowdown at all.
Be curious to see if the cause or causes can be identified.
I own an S23U since launch and it's faster and smoother than ever, defiently better than the first few months after launch. So the reverse happened with the S23U, it got better. You can go on any S23U forum and most will say the same thing I wrote here.
This depends on the phone and manufacturer. If you get a google pixel they got a lot more life in them than a Samsung or Motorola.
