I too think yearly updates are a bit too much and I too want to keep my devices for a long time. Still rocking an iPhone 12 (mini).

But support for newer codecs like AV1 and general hardware refreshes to keep up with the underlying Android base would still seem like good ideas to me.

Reading the specs it seems that the Shield also would benefit from being able to detect frame rate to auto-switch via HDMI.

Higher network bandwidth to play UHD Blu-ray rips seems like something people want.
