I knew that this will happen sometime in the future. Now this time has come. Digital planned obsolescence to force people to buy new phones.

Even on my old Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ed. 2014 upgrading OS to 7.1.x was a huge boost in speed and battery life.

4.4.2 kitkat is fastest with less battery drain. Google is getting greedy .
Wants us to buy new phones more often.
Just like laptops , one day cell phones will reach to peak processor power and smile changes will happen and u can keep then same phone for more years just like u can keep laptop pc now.

Dear Google, you seem to think you can force me to throw away a perfectly functional phone (please note, the common baseline Jelly Bean version is 4.1.2, NOT 4.2...) by forcing developers to stop supporting my phone for the sole reason of making me buy a new one. FYI you're wrong, you can't.

Google going to be like Apple- "buy new phone or we won't let You use Your favourite apps" That's discrimination in my opinion.
