I've been lucky so far-my 16 year-old Samsung and original charger both work just fine-I did have to replace the battery pack somewhere around the 14th year though...
Don't really want to modernize-I can use my laptop for any Internet/Computing/Entertainment needs, and a portable Smartphone is too big and fragile for my liking. My 'soapbar' takes calls, texts and voicemails just fine, fits on my belt and takes a beating. I don't even want another Samsung-the new ones have fully-integrated 'power packs' that can't be replaced at all, when it stops holding a charge you throw it away. This offends me beyond words... I'll keep my old phone until the circuit boards turn to dust.
I felt the same way about my '93 Festiva-and it made it to 30 before it perished.
