How often do you change phone?
I currently have a pixel 4xl and I don't see myself changing it in the near future. I usually try to keep a phone as long as I can, even at some cost (like changing the battery). I also find that recent phones actually last quite a lot compared to some years ago! What do you guys think? How long do you rock your phone on average?

Mind is 5 years old and I intend to keep it as long as it works fine. Not a big fan of the “change it for the new model every year “

If the phone still receiving the upgrades from the manufacturer I am ok, but if it's on end of support I will better change it rather staying on a vulnerable software.

What do you think the risks are when you don't receive any support or update?

Thank you for the info...
However, even if up to date I believe it could still be vulnerable right?

Absolutely, but at least manufacturer is still releasing patches to fix those vulnerabilities.

Oh sorry for that!
I usually end up changing the after at least 4-5 years because they start to slow down a bit and I start fancing a new phone. It never happened to me to break them actually!
