Is there any point in buying New phones at the moment?

Personally I'm waiting for the day when they will be able to stuff a desktop-pc CPU power in a phone so we can just plug a phone to monitor and have a desktop pc power but until that....

More or less everyone I know have the latest and the best phones, so I have toyed around with all of them but seems like any progress has stopped in the last 3-4years? Sure more ram gets stuffed in phones, a bit faster cpu's but still I have a cheap Moto g 3rd that is able to do everything that the latest flagship can, there's not a single thing that I'm really missing out on, ok you can take 10% better pictures , can load a game 2sec faster than my cheap old phone but that's about it really?

Samsung S8 DeX is a dock that connects your phone to a big monitor and gives an entry-level, netbook-like, PC experience. For a first-generation true-PC-like experience, it is pretty good. By the time it gets to S10 and above, you're gonna be able to replace perhaps 50-80% of your desktop, laptop and tablet activity (beyond browsing) on your phone.

That looks pretty ok, Now If we could run a windows OS on it and it would have a little bit beefier cpu that would be gamechanger.
Hopefully in a few years they make it happen.

Laptop CPU's has stood in the same place for probably the past 4-5years , at least the phone CPU's are getting better and better.

I would agree.

The only reason worth upgrading from your Motorola G3 would be if your lifestyle would benefit from faster charging speed- as Quick charge 2.0 was a good leap forward in charging time reduction. But again no need to get the latest as Quickcharge 3.0 was not a massive time improvement over 2.0 so an older phone will do fine.

how long does it takes to charge a phone over the latest quickchargers?
I charge mine only every 3-4days and it takes about 60-70minutes to charge from 10% to 95% with 1.1a charger.

I feel the constant android ''security '' updates are slowing down my phone as well.
It's just a trick for them to sell new phones to you by not updating them anymore and making them worthless because you can't run the latest apps...
