I am using my S10+ for 4 years now and I have no reason to get a new phone apart from the lack of updates. It feels old without updates, if you understand what I mean. What is a big downside for not getting any updates anymore? Security maybe?
Coming from Apple my old IPhone was supported for what felt like ages.
I could spend the money on a new phone but I don’t really see the point. I don’t want to spend it just so I can get new updates. The S10+ just feels perfect, it’s crazy to me how good the battery is + performance and everything else. The phone also just looks good. It has no fault apart form regular updates.
Could you maybe list some reason why I should get a new phone or why I should still wait.
And then here is me, running banking apps on a rooted device with no security updates whatsoever. This may be the only reason I upgrade soon.
as long as you’re not downloading sketchy stuff and have safe bank-keeping measures, keep using the rooted phone. As a matter of fact, I’m considering rooting my own galaxy s10e sometime soon and installing a quicker version of android. Mine runs on a Exynos chip and OneUI is starting to get slow. Really slow.
like a PIN/PW/pattern, of course
for me, i only turn that on whenever i have PIN-worthy files
