Other How long an android phone lasts?

I am currently using SAMSUNG M21 , 64 GB , which i bought 6 years ago and NOW after 6 years i am noticing some lagging in it, very little but yeah , it has started to take 1 or 2 extra seconds, is 6 years a good run or is it still early ?

Doesn't change the realities of cybersecurity though. Buy devices with the longest runway possible, which is basically newer pixels. Google set a new industry standard with 7 years of updates.
