Fair, I could just buy a new Android phone, but at the time every non-flagship appeared to stop updates every two years, and being on an upgrade treadmill on that time scale did not seem like a fair use of my money. I have no idea if this continues to be the situation or if Android manufacturers have gotten better with their update cycles.
- eipi10_hn 9mo agoPixel A series (from Pixel 8A) is a non-flagship that will receive 7 years of updates. I bought 1 last year around less than $300.
- subscribed 9mo agoThat's fair assessment (and it pissed me off myself), but thankfully it's much better now with Android. I mean, I still wouldn't trust Sony even if it give a blood oath (they used to abandon flagships after 16-18 month form release!), but there are also more reputable vendors.
