Or when buying a new smartphone we always look at the details of the technology, camera, RAM or processor, we must also consider another important fact. The amount of security updates is received by the smartphone.
This is a basic feature that we don't usually pay attention to, but since security and privacy are a priority for us and Google, it would be best from now on to choose our new terminal with a prominent camera, we've done it again based on the number of reviews you receive.
All right now What happens when the terminal stops receiving them? Should we throw it away? Not working? Should we bury it underground?
What happens when the terminal stops receiving security updates?
Some terminals like the Google Pixel have a security update period of up to three years, others are very limited and even some kind of product. Apparently a good length of time considering that many users change our smartphone before all this time (either because we're tired of it, the battery doesn't work or because we want a better model).
However, if we persevere with our device until the last security update, what happens if I continue with it? Will bad developers come and steal my Google account? Obviously not.
Continue using an old smartphone or it can be fully recommended, nothing happens. Google Play Store apps continue to be updated and are getting upgrades without the operating system too so they do not have access to unfamiliar websites or download apps with questionable origins, legally we should not take any risk.
Great bulk and if the phone doesn't get many updates, it's the right time to enter the rom world again offer to maintain a second life. There is also the option of moving this smartphone to an emergency phone, alarm clock, portable console or music player.
In conclusion, nothing is possible to continue using the default Android phone to receive security updates as long as we use it properly – something we must always do. Android is still a really safe operating system so you don't have to fear anything to use an device that is a few years back.
