  • The Galaxy S8 was a good device (I had one) but you’re right it is insanely old at 7 years.

    You should absolutely ditch it though because as best I can tell, it hasn’t received OS updates and Security patches since 2021.

    Keep in mind if you do switch to GrapheneOS you will want to look into a Pixel, which have an OEM support period of 7 years (meaning they will continue to receive security updates). For example if you got a Pixel 9 you will get support until August 2031.

    GrapheneOS also committed to do additional “harm reduction” security updates for many devices to extend the support beyond that period.
