hi, gs290 users, and /e/-OS maintainers,
gs290 seems to stay at the “s”- or 12-level of Android/LineageOS, as in the list devices. Lineage-OS dont mention any more the gs290 in its’list.
How long an /e/-OS for the gs290 can be maintained by the team ?
thanks for any hints, Brieucs.
What means “s or 12 level”?
Hi @fl0 welcome to the /e/ forum.
hi, gs290 users,
in an other post, @Manoj pointed that an answer of my question was in the “murena faq” :
How many years will you support your phones with software updates?
We aim to support with at least 5 years of software updates and security patches.
thanks to @aibd for the documented logic of android / lineage / e0S versions (and @fl0 for the question 
).
I began to use the gs290 on 2022 january.

I see this “introduction” to gs290 dated October 2020 Help us test the /e/ OS on the GS290. You are probably aware that Gigaset dropped support for the device some time ago. Service-Portal | Gigaset
Users of the current Android 12 (S) are likely to face drop of support of Android SPL during February or March.
Maybe I missed it but I don’t see GS-290 mentioned in either
[LIST] Devices which will be getting upgraded to /e/OS T - Part I
[LIST] Devices which will be getting upgraded to /e/OS T - Part II
thank-you!
If the gs290 began with official-/e/-OS in 2021, the OS would be maintained up to 2025 by /e/.
I did not found any mention of gs290 in : lineageos devices
(Lineage is adapted to about 200 phones models).
Probably Gigaset did not made any update to android-13 for the gs290, as you point.
This is the reason for the other post : murena-smartphones-life
There are not so much recent phones to benefit of official-/e/-OS. (in december 2021, the price of the /e/-gs290 was 230 €, may-be I could use it until 2026).

Hi,
Just to be sure I have understood correctly: the above means that after 2025 there will be no more security updates for the GS290?
Thank you
may-be information there :

look to “updates” and “supported devices”
