You just compared a tablet from 2011 with a phone from 2015. That's a pretty apples to oranges comparison. How available are Lineage OSes to Android tablets fr

  The Samsung Galaxy S II (a phone) released late 2011 had official lineage 14.1. There are unofficial builds of lineage 19 today. That's a particularly good situation, I don't really know how was Android back then, but in any case Android still allowed installing alternative browsers, allowing devices to be useful long after updates stopped. Firefox was still installable on android 4.4 recently enough. So there's that. But again, that's still just bad either way, I expect better from hardware. 4 years is awfully short and I don't quite care if Android was better or worse. Apple controls everything, how come it was only capable of 4 years of updates? It's unacceptable, and the usual two or three years of updates on stock Android too, of course.
