The reason I switched to Samsung is because I had an Apple device and then a Google device reach the end of their usefulness at the two year mark. The 3 Samsung phones I've had since then have lasted to the 4 year mark and I was able to replace them on my timeline, not the device's.

The S20+ I'm typing this on is 4.5 years old and feels as functional as the day I got it, it does not feel slow at all and if the battery life has lessened I haven't noticed.

My mum is using my old 12 Pro, which is about the same age as yours. She’s still happy with it, though to me it feels old.
