I'm currently using 5iii and xz1 compact. I really like the old school design, the inclusion of SD cart slot and headphone jack, and it's easy to unlock. However, the update policy is bad (2 yr OS + 1yr security) especially when you factor in the price, and the availability is limited to select markets only.
I think the 2yr OS + 1yr security is just par for the course for most Android phones nowadays, to my immense frustration.

Here are some stats. First is Android upgrades. The second is security updates.
Samsung 4 years 5 years OnePlus 4 years 5 years Oppo 4 years 5 years Google 3 years 5 years Xiaomi 3 years 4 years Motorola 3 years 4 years Realme 3 years 4 years Vivo 3 years 3 years Nokia 3 years 3 years Sony 2 years 3 years
How is Google behind Samsung and Oneplus? Don't they even make their own chipset now? Embarrassing tbh
