Easy, if you care about software updates or you plan to keep a phone more than 2 years, don't buy Android phones, especially flagship (being that you will loose even more money with these).
Also, if you want a second hand phone (which in my opinion are the best way to go, but to know where to buy them), buy iphones. Even a 3-4 year model, will receive updates for another 2.
The end.

Stopped buying samsung devices after the s7 since the exynos (only option available here in PH) fell behind the snapdragon versions. It actually narrows down my choices so no complaints.
-Oneplus (only phone here with the sd 865 unless you ship from the gray market) for flagship and Xiaomi for midrange and and entry level. Oppo/vivo/realme starting this year are priced outrageously for what they are.

Seven years later. It's getting them the moment Microsoft makes them available, not whenever some arbitrary ISP, manufacturer and ultimately Google dumps an incomplete build on an internet server.
All other Linux builds you can install on any other device has built-in auto-updates. Android doesn't. Why? Because Google has agreed with the rest of the Open Handset Alliance cartel to enforce planned obsolescence of devices costing more than most laptops and desktop computers.

Anonymous, 08 Jul 2020iPhone 7 plus (2016) is still receiving updates. 🤣Even iPhone 6s Plus from 2015 is scheduled to receive iOS14 update. Damn, Apple really makes a potent case for dropping 1000 USD on a phone much better than Android.

Good. Samsung doesn't support poor people buying Galaxy S phones. You have to be rich and upgrade yearly. It's your fault keeping such an old phone around. It's better for Samsung to put their money on making newer phones.

They had the nerve to put out numerous products but not the desire to deploy security updates to what will soon be zombie devices. To the landfill they go?
