Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy A6+ (2018)?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after December 2021 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
