New versions of android barely add anything...the changes were fairly minor for 10/11 imo. Google is playing catch-up with custom skins like OneUI, Oxygen, LG UX, etc.
LOL so basically its like a iphone, its been more or less the same since iOS 8, but then again why fix something that's not broken?
Some keep talking about little to no future updates on the phone. They sound like it will just stop working. New updates would be nice but not everyone has to have the latest Android OS. I bet most people don't care.
OS is one thing, but security is another, i would be okay with a older OS as long as it still gets regular security updates and patches. Thats one reason why my main device for personal use is a iPhone. Even my old 5s got Major OS updates from 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.3 and security updates also that's a long support from such a old phone.
Its like a car warranty. If you keep your phone 3 years then who cares. If you keep it five you are looking at open source or let er roll. True apple supports longer if that matters to the owner. Also id guess 5g becomes a thing in 3 years so old 4g phones will have coverage gaps or speed issues so any amount of patching cant help. Personally i type this on an ipad and use a macbook but i find ios on phones crappy so i use android.

I'm not saying dramatic changes are needed. However, people always make a huge fuss out of getting buggy OS updates. The most recent revisions added new things, but nothing groundbreaking.
Read up on A11 + A12. They're updates most would do fine without.
So in a year this phone will simply stop working because it's no longer supported?
Our family must be lucky. We have a couple of Moto Z2 Force and Note8 phones. They haven't received updates in 2 years but still working for some reason.
arguing on the internet with some nerd isn't my thing buy what you want I could care less. someone asked for an opinion so I gave one. if you don't agree keep it moving. You look stupid trying to argue.
