What about security updates?
This is often the first point people mention when discussing keeping a phone for longer. And it’s a fair concern. The OnePlus 12R is still within its update window, so I’m not worried about it right now. It gets regular security patches, and for a daily driver, that’s enough to feel comfortable using it for everything. The OnePlus 7 Pro is a different story. It has long surpassed its official update cycle, which means it no longer receives the latest security fixes. That’s the trade-off with older hardware, and it’s something you can’t ignore completely.

I didn't upgrade my phone this year, and I don't feel like I missed anythingWhen will Pixel finally get it right?
Unfortunately, for all the improvements Google has made and continues to make to the Pixel experience, it's still far from perfect. Worse, it does not feel like Pixels will get it right anytime soon. No Android phone can match the Pixel experience. A clean design, powerful AI features, and quick software updates. But the bugs and recurring issues undermine them all. For one generation, Google does not need to focus on adding new features to Pixel phones. Instead, it should work on getting the basics right to improve reliability and consistency. Until then, Pixel phones will remain easy to love
