Welcome to Android Forums, Branda Lus!
I used five Android phones in the past years and all of them became very sluggish.
Can you expand on that a little? For example, which phones you had, which Android versions you were using, how you typically use your phone--like taking a lot of photos, or downloading large images, and so on. That might help us sort things out.
Personally, in my decade of using Android, I've never seen what you're describing. Like Hadron, I typically use my devices for 3+ years--right now, in addition to my daily-driver, a Moto Z² Force Edition, I also use my 5-year-old Moto X 2nd Generation and my
7-year-old Kindle Fire HD 8.9" [which I turned into a true Android tablet by rooting it]. Neither has ever been, or needed to be, factory reset due to sluggishness. So your experience is not at all like mine!
By the way, even if you were an iPhone user, you'd still be welcome here.
