    Clarity is in stating how many years of updates you are getting with a phone deal on hukd,s.
    This is a obvious need people want to know before parting with cash.

    Hiding or not stating how many years of updates you are getting with a phone deal on hukd just isnt deal clarity .

    It might be something some people wish to know.  I don't give it a second thought and really unconcerned by how many years of updates there are.

    Having a phone that has the latest monthly release of Android is a nice feeling and I enjoy getting them on my Pixel. However Google understands that not all manufacturers give there devices a long support schedule. To counter this and keep people safe they release Play Service and Play System updates independently to the monthly updates. These help fix security vulnerabilities and keep your data safe. I have another phone, on Android 12L, that hasn't received an update for 2 years now, but I'm happy to keep using banking apps on it. I think Google keeps updating these for 7 versions of Android.

    My choice would be an iPhone SE 2022
    Smaller, lighter and better.

    I have an iPhone SE Which I have shown the relative. Still too much money for them.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
