If you run custom ROMs on Android that situation is currently better than anything - you can still get updates for a Galaxy Nexus from 2011. Xiaomi is also currently providing official updates for 4+ years on some devices.
The official situation should change too - with the release of Android 8 there is now a more defined layer separating the HAL from the rest of the OS, allowing updates to be pushed out universally.
- dep_b 9y agoYeah I'll totally bet the farm on the hope that in five years shady_dude_1998 will upload a nice ROM for me on some kind of site that forces me to watch an add for 15 seconds first. I'm not against the idea of customizing your phone with a custom ROM but let's not pretend that it's a genuine option for regular consumers.
- problems 9y agoI'm not suggesting that - look at big professional projects like Lineage, Paranoid and others. I'd say it is a quite genuine option - you just need to know one person who can set you up once, updating is simple and streamlined.
