Security updates are useless... simply because each system feature/driver/config ....etc has its own potential for vulnerability. So vulnerabilities are unlimited and a secure system is a pure utopia !

        Vasra, 10 hours agoAnd this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you need ... moreyou think this kind of vulnerabilities are for average joes ?
        these are used by police to break into suspect phones or to spy big fishes in the sea, nobody cares about the average joe so unless you are some VIP nobody cares

          i think its almost impossible that system proves safe from dangerous things

              Vasra, 10 hours agoAnd this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you need ... morebro, what's your point? the s22 ultra is getting a large number of updates and it's still vulnerable. smh

                  1. What do you think about custom ROM. Is it secure enough? Or more secure than the original?
                  2. 2 OS update + 1 more year = 3 year, or 3 OS update + 1 more year = 4. Which is more than 2 years.

                  And I also only use phone for 2 years,
                  After that, it's a backup phone use for non-banking
                  Do you think non-banking phone need security update?

                    Great work Qualcomm

                      And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you need more than spotty two years of updates.

                      Unless of course you throw away your phone every two years, which 95% of people do not do (per usage statistics).
