Both the Pixel 3 XL and iPhone XS Max were launched in 2018


 The smartphone industry is changing. Every year your favorite manufacturer has a new flagship that can entice you with the latest flagship that you have already purchased. Determining when to upgrade can often be difficult when you already have a new and (usually) better option already working.

On the other hand, many people do not mind keeping their phones on while working. We at Android Central want to know how old your current phone is. And if you don't know when it was published, how long have you personally owned it? As smartphones get more advanced, they tend to become more expensive. Flagship smartphones have already surpassed 1,000, with Sony Xperia Pro-I and Samsung's best foldable phones priced at around $ 2,000. Due to the high cost of smartphones, upgrading them every year is less understandable, no matter how tempting, and it makes it easier to use your current smartphone a little longer. The advantage of having control over hardware and software - Apple has maintained its smartphones very well over the years. Things are not so smooth with Android, as different manufacturers struggle harder each year to expand support for their software. Samsung recently announced a four-year OS update for the Galaxy S22 series and some of its other devices, as well as a five-year security update, which means you can use your new Galaxy S22 without worrying about vulnerabilities. The same policy applies to the Galaxy S21, so the update is almost invalid. However, the promises of this new expanded update are still relatively new to some OEMs, while others - such as Motorola - one, may be content to provide support for up to two years. However, people seem to be satisfied with using their phones for a while, until they perform well enough for their needs. Many people are still rocking the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 despite the end of support for those phones. Let us know how old your phone is and how well it works for you.
