          You should worry more about your devices being used as crypto mining slaves or other malevolent purposes like being used in cyber attacks etc.
          Unless you are a celebrity or a very rich person, hackers don't really care about regular users.

And with the money I saved over the past 4 years, I'm now getting a flagship or an upper midranger.

                  Or use Bluetooth with headphones only. Or don't use it at all.

                    That's why I love Android One.
                    It's not just about bragging rights that my phone has the latest software version or I keep on receiving many updates for me to pick one up, but it's mainly the security of the device.
                    I feel bad for those Android users with security patch level later than June of 2018 (and thankfully Xiaomi has updated my Redmi 5 Plus to June 1 2018 security patch already).
