Yeah, it's an old phone, and despite being a Samsung model, it never got a newer android release. And I've never done anything on it that even uses a password - no email or facebook, no bank, nuttin, so I haven't *needed* to upgrade.
But in all the years, it's never had a bad fall or scratched screen, still works for making calls and texts. But *now* I need to have a way to access the Ring camera, to maybe detect who's prowling our shed. (one time they unscrewed the hasp that was locked. When I prevented that, they used bolt cutters on the hasp (didn't touch the lock itself.) Finally decided to put a deadbolt lock in, as well as try for the camera, since even the local sheriff recommended that.)
A different hardware moan:
I have a recently purchased bluetooth speaker. it sounds good, once I figured out how to enable it to connect. But it turns itself off after just under 30 minutes, no matter what is being streamed. Just shuts off. It immediately reconnects after you turn the power back on, but has been reset to max volume. Middle of the zoom meeting, middle of the music I was playing another time, whatever. just won't keep working for more than 30 minutes.
Altech Lansing BabyBoomXL, for what it's worth.
None of the reviews *I* read mentioned anything like that!
