If these rules are enforced, they could easily change the way Android OEMs have been handling software updates for quite some time. As of this writing, Samsung and Google are the only two companies to offer five years of security updates for their phones. Despite this, not all of its devices have these benefits. On top of that, Samsung is also delivering four major Android updates for high-end devices, the longest in the industry. By comparison, Google and other brands offer three or fewer operating system updates for select devices.
Such regulations have the power to go ahead and force companies to provide longer updates not only for flagship phones, but also for mid-range and economy devices that don’t normally get the same treatment.
Can a smartphone last 5 years?
The average life of a smartphone is 2 to 4 years. But you might still be able to hit the 5-year mark if you treat your phone with care and care. However, after about 3 years, you may notice that your phone’s hardware is outdated and having trouble handling modern apps.
Many factors come into play when it comes to extending the life of your phone, here are a few:
Operating system issues
In addition to battery life issues battery, your phone frequently crashes, freezes, or keeps sending OS update notifications despite the update.
It is also possible that the phone takes longer to boot than normal, or the phone keeps booting without turning on.
Keep it clean
While our phones still have buttons and internal hardware, they can get pretty dirty, especially since they live inside our purses and pockets. mention our hands. For the surface, you can use a microfiber cloth and cotton swabs to remove part of the accumulated dirt. If really necessary, a little rubbing alcohol can also help, but be sure to keep it away from the various ports that lead to the internal gears. If you’d like to keep an eye on these parts, visit one of our stores, as we can easily open up your phone and make sure everything is clean and dry inside.
Another challenge of keeping your phone alive for a full five years (essentially eternity, in the case of tech devices!) is the issue of battery life. All device batteries are designed to last a certain number of charges (between 300 and 500). This means that if you constantly charge your battery to 100%, it could significantly reduce overall battery life. Even if you accidentally drain the battery, you can still get in the phone and have it replaced, or if it makes you nervous, you can bring the phone back to us for expert service.
