    The phone will stop getting security updates in less than 3 years. It will still be a perfectly good phone by then. The battery won't even have degraded out of service life.

    5 years in the EU

    If this means the device is usuable and reasonably secure for 5 years, this is fine.

    Other than avoiding ecosystem fragmentation, I'm not seeing tangible benefits of running the latest android.
