Answer How many years of updates does my phone get?

36 of the 55 phones in the catalogue have a security-update end date on file, 36 of them a maker’s commitment. Counted from release, those dates give 2.6 to 7 years of security updates; the longest window is 7 years. By maker: Google 4.9 to 7 years (9 phones), Motorola 2.6 to 4.2 years (4 phones), Nothing 6 to 7 years (5 phones), Samsung 5 to 7 years (16 phones) and Xiaomi 6 years (2 phones). 19 phones have no date on file, 14 of them iPhones — Apple publishes no end date for any iPhone, so none is given here.

How we know

Each date is the phone’s support record: the maker’s own page, or endoflife.date where it records the maker’s published window (labelled “via endoflife.date”). Release dates are the maker’s. Used prices are CeX’s, read on the date on each chip; prices older than a week are not shown.
