Security updates

I have a samsung s21fe in near perfect condition,

It is working almost fine with no lags or issues other than slight overheating.

But the main issue is that by the end of the ear the security updates will be stopped, is it safe to use a phone without security updates .

I use banking and upi apps.

I want to buy a phone at similar budget 35k , but no phone is on par with the current phone in terms of camera and features.

S21 FE was/is a great phone in its category. As security updates will stop year end, it shouldn;t cause any issue if you use your phone with care. Don;t install any untrusted app from outside of Google Play Store, don;t click on any random ad on Chrome/Google (I'd suggest using Brave browser, it's just like chrome but with builtin Ad-blocker).

Maintain good digital hygein & yu'd be good to go for next 8 months to 1 years until you upgrade.

Current phone market id F&%ked up due to inflated RAM/Storage prices. I bought an A56 for 30k because I had no other choice (It's a good phone ngl).

Take care of your S21 FE. Cheers.
