Google already stopped supporting Android 11. Right now, Android 12 is the minimum supported version.

So, it is just a matter of time before banks stop supporting even Android 11.

I have a few advices for you and other people, for your next phone purchase:

1. Before buying new Android phone, do research on which brand has the best Android update policy. Here are the list: http://androidauthority.com/phone-update-policies-1658633/

2. When buying new Android phone, buy the one from brand that has the best Android update policy.

3. When buying new phone, buy the one with the latest OS.

My Samsung Galaxy A73 5G came with Android 12. I had updated it to Android 14. With Samsung's policy, I expect that my phone will get Android 15 or even 16.

That is the reason why buying more expensive branded phones despite the cheaper unbranded ones have better hardware for the same price.

What makes up for the hardware lacks the continued software support and customization efforts.

This is actually the KILLER feature of Apple products that no other brands can match them.

For Android phones you probably want to limit your choice with the bigger brands such as Samsung, GooglePhones, Motorola, OnePlus/Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, Sony Xperia, Huawei.

All the other lesser known brands avoid even if they boasts superior hardware with similar pricing to inferior hardware branded models.
