    And pretty much everyone in my family has used our android phones for 4+ years for as long as I can remember.

    It’s almost as if anecdotes are worthless!

      As far as I know, until recently no android phone manufacturer except Google provided updates to their phones past 1-2 years. So while it’s been possible, I have never recommended keeping an android phone past 2 years.
