    If I check phones released 7 years old … I do not to use them today. Even if updates would be provided.

      Why not? If the phone is physically still functional, and receives software updates, why does it matter if its 7 years old?

        To each their own. There’s more to a phone than just if it’s physically working and supported with updates. I definitely wouldn’t be using an S7 Edge today because phones these days have better cameras, larger displays, better battery life, etc.

          Gotcha, that’s exactly what I was asking. I can see how that could matter to some.

    I’d buy this in an instant if they would have included a headphone jack. What an idiotic design choice to make especially on a device like this

    The company actually skipped Android 12 to deliver Android 13 due to all that “build the BSP yourself” work. Monthly security updates probably don’t arrive all that regularly either.

    This might be a dealbreaker for many people.

      Yep. 7 years of updates is not worth a lot functionally if the updates are months or years behind. Almost as bad as them not getting them to begin with.
