My Oppo Reno z only got one year of updates, so pretty much one or two updates in total, I still love the heck out of using that thing, it's built well, it's fast and comfortable, it's just that they didn't intend for me to use it after 2020.
Even though it has a cracked screen, I intend to replace it in possibly 2027, because I really don't mind the cosmetic damage or outdatedness, it works for me, just like how my 9 year old ThinkPad 11e was before I replaced it.
Thankfully, phone updates are just a software problem. It's sad we've reached this point, but there's nothing really stopping us from updating phones like we update our computers.
People need to collectively have higher standards if they want businesses to meet those standards.
