- sourcepluck 2y agoI had spotted that, although thank you for pointing it out, it is indeed relevant. My experience is that support can, under certain circumstances, be over-rated. Depending on your use case, of course. If it's an Android-based phone with no support, and if you're not obliged to run specific mainstream apps on it, you can still keep them going for years and years with the magnificent F-Droid. Source: just moved off of the Galaxy J-2 Prime I'd been using for maybe 5 years, and I'm not sure if it was supported even when I originally bought it, around 2019... I was on Android 8, or 6, or something ridiculous, I can't recall now. With F-droid, and absolutely never logging in to a Google account, and deleting and disabling everything I safely could, and a couple of APKs like Signal, and some very judicious memory usage, I'd a functional phone, and learned a lot too. Only moved off it because a family member got a new work phone, and was just going to not use the old one. Yoink!
