      6 years huh, as long as users can flash gsi rom is good then.

      my phone, mi a2 lite, still runs great. just replaced the battery. well 3gb ram *is* not enough for current standard (especially running the latest android) but the phone is run microg instead the bloated gms.

      but yeah 4gb is not enough for full blown android and full packaged GMS.

              That garbage won't even last 1 year.
              It's going to fry your battery much sooner.

                            but with only 4GB of RAM, I'm pretty sure the OS will lag as hell after couple of years.
                            and it will force most people to upgrade their phones.

                              and they have both IP68 and MIL-STD rating,
                              so, it's not the issue.

                              the only reason companies remove the 3.5mm jack is because they're lazy and think that their customer can be fooled easily.
