I'm still using my OnePlus 8t. Phones lifespans are fine. If you can't keep your phone working for 4 years, that's on you.

I see no reason to upgrade until support is dropped.

I used my 6t for 4 years but it started bootlooping and I needed it for 2fa codes every login on some applications for work. I bought a 10t after a couple of days. Funny enough now the 6t appears stable again, oh well it's the household backup if any others spontaneously die

My Samsung a70 doesn't get major software updates anymore. I'm OK with it. I'll use this as long as possible.

For security reasons, don't do that. Don't use things older than the supported android version. It's fucking Linux. It gets vulnerabilities.
