This device has expired. Now what?

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy S6 (USA)?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after March 2018 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.
