Phone Upgrade 101

* Get a phone.
* Use it 'til it dies.
* Get a new one.

Ignore the hype by Apple/Google/Samsung and co.

I mean, get a new one when you run out of security updates maybe?

or get a better vendor...?

@MrsMouse @nixCraft If Android and your device is popular enough then you can always just use a custom rom to get security updates. At least that's what I do.

@the_moep maybe it works with older devices, but there's no alternative distros for newer devices
