Whether it's 5 years of Android updates or just 5 years of security patches (and probably three or four Android updates), it's lightyears better than what Sony does, which is just two years of Android updates.
You know, like a Galaxy S5 from 10 years ago.
Might check out what Sony has to offer later this year and may even get a 5 VI if I have the money even though I already have an S24+
