Just be happy that the kernel you get on your brand new phone is only 5 years old.

  Example: the Nokia 7.2 was released at the end of 2019 and is running on Linux 4.4.194 on the newest available Android update. 4.4 was first released in January 2016 and is currently at 4.4.262. 4.4.194 was released in September 2019. The newest LTS release at the end of 2019 was 4.19, released in October 2018. 4.9 and 4.14 are also LTS releases. 4.4 is a bit special because it's a Super Long Term Support kernel but 4.19 is SLTS as well.

    Is that a fair example? Most phones sold are going to be from Samsung.[0] Their recent flagship, the Galaxy S21, is a 5.4.61 kernel.

      For a like-for-like example, the Galaxy S10 released in 2019 like the Nokia 7.2 is 4.14.212.
