Can You Still Use a Phone with an Older Android Version?

Find out if it is still possible to use a phone or device with an older Android version and the conditions that apply.

In general these days, most brands guarantee about 2 years' worth of Android updates and security patches , while a few promise up to 7 years. While we would always recommend getting a device with a newer Android version , sometimes your older device will still work fine.
