Smartphones and tablets will only become obsolete if YOU have to have the latest and greatest new features or updates to the systems that run them.
I got my Samsung Note 2 about 5 or 6 years ago. It stopped getting system updates even before I bought it. However, every app that I have on it continues to be updated which is all that matters.
Just because Google come out with a new Android update doesn't mean that you have to run out buy a new device just so you can get it.
I don't have any eyestrain no matter which device I use, and I want to be able to read & listen to music on whatever device I have with me which means I'm only carrying one device that happens to be my Note 2.
But if you are one of those who HAS to have every update that comes out, be prepared to spend a lot of money.
