Considering all the comments I’ve seen about their phone basically falling apart it kind of sounds like you should just get an iPhone SE and factor in a battery replacement after 3 years. Day one updates for 5 years and I am severely doubtful you’ll have as many hardware problems if you don’t damage it. Better camera, too.

Security updates are easier than full OS upgrades.

Have they actually done this, or did they just say that they will? It won’t be easy…

Doesn’t Qualcomm stop providing drivers after 4 years?

If you had gotten a high quality phone from another manufacturer it is unlikely you would have had this many hardware problems requiring a replacement. This seems like a toss up.

Now let’s see if they actually follow through. I’m skeptical.
