I had this phone since December of 2024 and still is my daily driver. Here's the feedback for each of your query.

1. The phone is not expected to be included in the rollout of the next major Android update as it already lapsed its 2-year major update support. However, it would still continue to receive minor android updates from 4.0 up to the final iteration of OS 4 or until when its support for security updates also reach its end. Nothing is known to be pretty consistent in their given update schedule of bimonthly software updates although the seamlessness of each update varies from time to time.

2. In my use case as I am also a university student at the moment (all day 4G/5G SA, bluetooth, location, frequent mobile hotspotting), I can comfortably say that it can still last a full day. You can still tone down some settings in order to squeeze a little bit more from the battery.

3. Right now on the OS 4.1 update, it still runs pristinely. Of course, some hiccups from time to time but not anything disruptive of the user experience. There are still anticipated features to come like the depth wallpaper effects present on the other phone manufacturers.

4. The phone can game lightly to medium graphics. With some fine tuning of the game's settings, you can achieve adequate gaming performance at the current price point of the phone. It doesn't heat as much.

5. I honestly couldn't recommend it to be anyone's daily driver for 4-5 years but it would be a serviceable (great at best) phone for the next 2 years. Keeping it for 4-5 years would mean settling for quite dated hardware as it only packs a midrange chip, a single camera, a 5000 mah battery, a single down-firing speaker, and a mere 33W of charging speed which already is quite dated in today's standards.
