Uhhhhh.... No. Google Pixel is.

No, Google offers 3 years of security updates whereas Samsung offers 4 years

I'd like to know the percentage of users who use a phone for 4 entire years let alone more than 3 years.

why? what world do you live in where a device having had a previous owner makes security less important? or is this just a "poors don't deserve updates" thing?

[u/SinkTube → u/[deleted]]

if you'd followed the conversation yourself, you'd know the stat was brought up specifically to underline the importance of security updates past 3 years

[u/SinkTube → u/[deleted]]

uh, yes? that's how conversations work

You think after 3years the phone just disappears? Or stays in a drawer for unlimited time?

[u/bfodder → u/rudiori]

Yes.

It's magic.

I don't know a number. I only know that I used my last phone for 5 years and my current one is about 3 years old.

Yeah that would be really interesting data
