I think if you stay away from shady email links and only install apps from Google Play store, you, we, should be ok.

I love this phone and want to continue using it (forever!)... does it matter that it no longer gets updates/security updates though? Is it still "safe" to use?

The 5G model you mentioned also has the advantages of faster charging and 256gb storage (compared to 128gb). But the 4G model has better speakers and a bigger battery.

For 3 years, I have been completely satisfied with the Mate 20X: (6GB RAM 128GB storage): an excellent 7.2-inch screen, the only large quality non-foldable model, very practical for allowing a senior to read without glasses. A very decent camera during the day and in low light, provided you do not abuse the zoom beyond x10 (as with all current smartphones). Good quality sound, even when recording videos (videos possible up to 4k in good conditions. 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi with very good speed, high-performance 4G, perfect bluetooth in the car. On the other hand, if you take the Chinese version (Harmony 4 which works very well in many languages (French for me) and with all the applications from the Google Playstore), remember to replace the annoying default keyboard application with the Microsoft one, free on the Playstore). The battery, very durable (2 days of autonomy) did not support the heatwave of this last summer at the peak but was easily replaced for a few dozen euros, labor included. For fear of not finding a new smartphone of this quality with a large 7.2-inch screen on the market one day, I bought the same one as a precaution (I still use the old one). The new one is here under Android (not Harmony) and works just as well, with the latter by default the much more practical Microsoft keyboard. There is a new version of this 7.2-inch model benefiting from 5G (in my opinion useless) but it is a little more expensive and the battery is then smaller (4200 instead of 5000 mA) even if it is very probably sufficient with this model of smartphone. I hope that other manufacturers will one day offer devices with 7.2-inch screens, much more practical (and robust) than foldable screens ...

To those who have only 6gb RAM version on this device, if you feel not enough, you can simply expand more with virtual RAM.
Install the RAM swap app no root needed.
Expand the RAM as your preference.
I expanded with an extra 6gb, my mate 20 X now has a total of 12gb RAM comprising 6gb onboard and 6gb virtual RAM.
I can tell you it is effective, fast, responsive and worked very well, All applications are running smoothly without lagging at one go.
Of course you can set beyond 6gb if you wish more, but do take note that the virtual RAM spaces are actually taken from your physical storage capacity, which means if you have enough space to keep all all your files you can preceed to set at a higher value.
But i feel 12gb RAM is pretty good enough.

Had this phone for six years now, and still in great condition and thr battery life is still pretty good. Although i use it as a back up phone along with my s4 ultra. I wont be fetting rid of this since this was my biggest phablet without the fold trend. The quality amazes me that it still up and running, or maybe im just OC when it comes to my phone.

one of the best phones ever. he never disappointed me. After 5 years of use, today I sadly had to replace it with a Samsung S24 Ultra. Too bad it wasn't supported longer
