  The Pixel 3 I have I got used and it still works, although the back glass is broken and the battery health is 85%, and stopped getting updates around a year ago. I’d say it’s 5 years run so far (released October 2018) is pretty good. If you know of any other devices that would be useful for 4~7 years please share! I think high end Apple and Samsung devices would, and they are now committing to longer software support, and are likely to carry though.

  Thanks for checking my sources! I think you made fair points, and the sample size in the one test that seemed reference-able was too small, so I’ll edit my post to suggest using a glass screen protector.

  Thanks for the input, you have a lot of helpful points! I encourage others to do there own research as I have done. In my research I find that liquid “screen protectors” increase the force required to crack the screen, and have add no functional scratch resistance, hence why I recommend the screen protector on top, glass is the way to go, as it will crack hopefully absorbing the force of impact and you can replace it instead on you display :)

  Here’s what I found in my research about screen protectors

  Thank’s for the advice, and being the first replay to my first post! I’ve retired from Reddit and hope to add value to society with out supporting as many companies I disagree with. :)
