I tend to buy <$200usd phones and use for 4 years (so: ~$50/year). I'm on a Pixel6A now, and plan to upgrade to an 8A at EOL in summer 2027. An unlocked 8A in "good condition" is $255 now on Swappa, and would get updates until summer 2031, so that meets the $50/year metric.

I'll be interested in GrapheneOS's new partner, but I suspect only their brand new phone will work, so... I'll consider it in 2031 :)
