    My Galaxy S2 actually had more updates than it could handle. While the last useful update had already slowed down the phone somewhat, the last available update was actually completely uninstallable - the portion of Google play services that was required to be installed on the system memory was larger than the entire system memory.

    I more than doubled the useful life of that phone by switching to LineageOS / microG.

    Chip support is definitely an issue with these devices, but it’s Google that’s running the treadmill.
