You should't change your phone every year. Just but phone with LineageOS support. And reflash it. 3+ years of additional support are yours.

Oh I don’t. Had my OnePlus One for six, and my current iPhone XS is 3. I just don’t like the hassle of flashing ROMs and enabling BS with Magisk and what not. I just want it to work.

Instead of all that, with my iPhone I input my pin, click “install update” and put my phone on the stand for ten minutes. It’s very hands-off.

I also only paid $500 for it so it’s been a value for the money.

My 2016 Xiaomi Mi 4S has received Android 13 update via LineageOS.

PixelExperience 13 is still being released for Redmi 4X, which is a 2016 phone as well
