LG is getting out of mobile phones, so support, i.e. security updates, may not be their priority and eventually non-existent.

This. Just upgraded to a Moto G Power. Battery is phenomenal! This is my 3rd Motorola over the past 7 years and the other 2 still work great. Only reason I upgrade is because after 2 years, the batteries don't hold a charge through the whole day.

I have the same phone. 1 week+ battery life. No joke. Maybe less if you are watching YouTube all day.

FWIW, I'd like to replace my 4 year old LG V20 (works great, but its slow down a bit as apps keep updating). Looking at either a Samsung S20FE or S21. Can't decide if I want the newest & pay extra $$$ or save a few dollars and get the S20 FE.

Side note: I've come to the harsh realization we live in a disposable society. Can't expect to keep my phone longer than 2 years w/o seeing a noticeable slowdown using apps. Same with cars (to a much lesser degree). My 14 year old Lexus has been 99% trouble free since new. Now, the business model for car manufacturers is based on 3 or 4 year leases, not long term car ownership. If I want the latest tech in a car, better to lease then own (even though for the consumer, a purchase is better).

Beginning with the S10 Samsung will now update the OS 3 times from the original OS which should keep it optimized for longer than 2 years (unless a really low spec model).
