My Galaxy S2 actually had more updates than it could handle. While the last useful update had already slowed down the phone somewhat, the last available update was actually completely uninstallable - the portion of Google play services that was required to be installed on the system memory was larger than the entire system memory.
I more than doubled the useful life of that phone by switching to LineageOS / microG.
Chip support is definitely an issue with these devices, but it's Google that's running the treadmill.
Galaxy s2 was easily my favourite phone.
Hardcore oled burn in though. Probably because of the RGB pixel structure instead of the pentile that Samsung use for everything else.
