Me too. I want a smartphone which can run an up-to-date OS for more than 5 years, just like my laptop.

LinageOS dropped official support for my current phone a couple of month ago, which means no more updates for this phone... EOL... The phone was released July 2016. The hardware works just fine. I would use it for many more years if it was still receiving updates. What a waste of resources and time.

Once again I'm looking for a new phone, because my old one died of planned obsolescence.
