It’s easier than it used to be to make a smartphone last. These days, yearly phone releases introduce only minor improvements, and phone makers like Google and Samsung offer software support that spans the better part of a decade. In a poll we’ve been running for the past couple of weeks, we found a lot of Android Authority readers are taking advantage of the situation, with the majority of respondents keeping their devices for longer than we would have thought.Our poll asking readers how long they keep their Android devices presented three choices: one to three years; three to five years; and five years or longer. To our surprise, about three quarters of people who participated say they keep Android devices for three years or longer, with a surprisingly large portion hanging onto their phones for five years or more.
