My phone came with a11 and is now on 13. I would have loved to stay on 11. Every update seems to take more things away than add any features I would actually use. An example is a12 making it so certain links can only be opened by default by “trusted” apps, Youtube for one. I’ve found workarounds but it’s still annoying.

I’m happy with 5, have not kept a phone for that long and I don’t really sell them at the end.

Using a 5 as well and I already fear ever replacing it - it’s just the perfect size :(

My Huawei P30Pro NE only received 1 Update and im thinking the 8Pro could be the final replacement. Im still waiting for Battery tests.

My work phone is a IPhone13pro and battery is crazy good there. I hope Pixel can get closer to Apple.

I guess they have then 7 years time to fix battery life or make it worse every year.

Good. They should have done this ever since they started moving to their own Tensor chips. Once you control the processor and the firmware, you’re not at the mercy of other companies removing support
