When smartphone manufacturers conclude software maintenance, devices stop receiving critical security fixes. Use this tracker to identify legacy models and evaluate when an upgrade is recommended.
Unpatched kernel vulnerabilities remain permanently open on EOL hardware.
Financial and government apps eventually require minimum modern Android API levels.
Trading in devices before official support expires yields substantially higher residual value.

Answers to common questions about firmware lifecycles and security updates.
When an Android device reaches End of Life, the device manufacturer and chipset vendor stop providing monthly security bulletins, firmware patches, and Android OS upgrades. The hardware remains operational, but newly identified vulnerabilities are never patched.
Using an unsupported device significantly increases vulnerability to remote exploits, malware, and compromised WebViews. While Google Play Protect continues scanning installed apps, low-level OS kernel exploits cannot be mitigated without system-level firmware updates.
No. Some manufacturers do not publish explicit public end-of-life dates for mid-tier or regional hardware variants. Update My Android marks these as 'Undisclosed' rather than assuming they are unsupported.
We recommend verifying you have installed the very last available update in Settings > System > Software update. If you use your phone for banking or sensitive business accounts, consider upgrading to an actively supported device.
