Are you serious? Iphone devices easily live for 8+ years as is, android is unfortunately the platform where your perfectly fine phone can easily be “canceled” 1-2 years down the line on purely software grounds, even Samsung promises only 3, recently 4 years of support!
Oh, and don’t forget the reality of those “open” bootloaders, besides pixels almost all of them come with the huge caveat of wiping proprietary firmware ASAP, bringing your fancy camera’s quality to the dirt for example. So, do your phones really get a new life?
- kaladin-jasnah 4y agoI am serious! Like I mentioned, I only care about the phone having an unlocked bootloader so I can install whatever software I desire, which means I don't really care about the camera or any of its features. I like to live a simple life. I have a nice Canon mirrorless camera for when I need good quality photography. As long as the phone can make calls, browse the web, send text messages and have a few messaging apps on a custom ROM (which most support), I'm plenty happy.
