Regged phone
Won't these rugged phones using Android 12 without updates over time get bogged down?
Bogged down? Unlikely. Eventually when security updates cease for Android 12 devices (two years from now, give or take) then they will become gradually less secure as new vulnerabilities are discovered. You'd need to weigh up your risk appetite accordingly based on how long you want to retain unsupported devices in your fleet.
On the other hand because rugged devices are often long-term supported, they may see multiple major version releases and continue receiving security updates for many more years. Ask the OEM for their roadmap 🙂
