Longest supported
Software support length is a buying decision, not just a spec. A device that stops getting security updates in two years is a worse deal than one that costs more but lasts five, even before resale value and e-waste enter into it. This list ranks every phone and Chromebook we track by how much update runway is left, furthest-out first, so you can shop for the one that lasts.
