I’m still on android 12 (galaxy S10 from 2019). Why replace an OLED premium phone that’s still lasting me all day with its battery with 6+ hours screen time and no scratches? And I don’t even use battery protection options. Only a few months ago I had to enable battery saving mode, which I didn’t use before at all.
If your phone has stopped getting security updates, then that is a big issue. Even if the phone is working fine. People are using their phones for banking, paying stuff, email, saving personal photos, etc. You dont want people hacking into your phone and an unpatched phone is an insecure phone.
Which is why samsung/google(and apple before them), have started offering 7 years of OS support. Modern phone hardware, especially flagship tier one, can last for a long time. Other than the battery degrading, the rest of the phone is still powerful enough for everything.
Hey you guys are not wrong. I just can’t convince myself to buy a new 800 bucks phone for no real reason other than security updates. My ISP phone contract is just 5 bucks a month.

I’ve never read of anyone having their phone hacked, I reckon it’s just an excuse to frighten you into buying a new phone.
Think about it. The people most likely to have an old, unpatched phone are the ones least likely to have anything in their bank accounts lol 😂
Well if you haven’t heard of it then it surely hasn’t happened and is no threat at all!
Unfortunately it’s not the kind of thing you can Google, because you’ll just get SEO results so I’m still Nun the Wiser
Just use a custom rom.
There is no reason. Android 12 is not that different from 15 IMHO because the number and depth of the changes has dropped off significantly in resent years. Android is a mature OS that does what most users want it to do.
