Key Takeaways

Android phones eventually stop receiving software updates, leaving them vulnerable to security risks and lacking new features.
Older Android devices typically only receive 2-3 years of software updates, while newer models can get up to 8 years of support.
Consider upgrading to a new phone when your current device is no longer supported to ensure security, better performance, and access to new features.
