My s10 + is already 7 years

How secure it is with banking apps and others?

Only issue now is need to charge it often- battery weak like ilke man

With more and more apps being installed, is it better to change it?

ur phone is running Android 12

which is the bare min for banking apps nowadays

suggest u upgrade as soon as possible

either u mau let hacker hack into ur phone n transfer all ur savings, to their account. buy phone la. or u wan kena hijack and jadi phishing to other of ur fren n family demand each rm 500 each.. habis ur reputation.

really this bad?

as long you are still getting andorid updates, you are safe.

Its all about security and vulnerability to hack and maleware.

If you tend to use phone for 7 years, change to those phone that promise long update, Pixel or samseng.

CCP phone are bad for update.

what would be the best upgrade?

Android 12 still can use but got daily limited transfer if i'm not mistaken. You should be safe if you don't click on suspicious links

Install Norton 360 to plotek plotek

Depends on ur budget

For longest updates for Android phones generally from Google Pixel 8 and later phones and Samsung flagship phones S24 and later

will the s25 ultra be a good buy now?

I would suggest you look into any Samsung phone that comes with Knox security. Those come with Secure Folder, a extra layer of security based on hardware and software. Unfortunately, may be because it so secure that some banking apps doesn't work inside Secure Folder.
