Then buy a newer one with longer support this will always be a issue since the support window is the same as Google. Once a manufacturer stops updating drivers and device firmware the said device can no longer effectively be secure because any exploit in the drivers or firmware will forever go unfixed compromisimg the devices security. Doesn’t matter what devices you buy this will always be the case it just depends on what your personal threat model is.
Understandable I keep my phones for 2 years only, 1 year now with my 7a just had to replace a cracked screen and installed a new battery so good for another year.
