Samsung phones now come backed with seven years' worth of security updates and seven generations of OS upgrades.

    Is this for s24 only or will this also apply for a few older models?

    This is a big improvement for me and was a major reason I never got an Android. Now let’s just see if they don’t overload the phones with bloat.

    I think the pixel is interesting, but it seems their hardware is not always built very well. It’s also not available in my country, so I’d have to import it.

      Samsung and bloat are synonymous, they just can’t help it but to ruin good hardware.

          I guess the thing that I really like about Samsung is their dex mode. I’d love to have a phone/desktop combo.

          If pixel ever did that, I’d pick one up pretty quickly.

          Or even iPhone, I just don’t want to need a computer and phone when the phone is more than powerful enough for my usage.

              I honestly think the market is waiting on Apple to do it.

              I think they have been reluctant to have a full desktop mode as most users will not understand why they need the App Store on a “desktop”.

              Now that side loading is being forced on them, I hope they bring this to the phones which will kickstart phones as computers.

              Anyway, my iPhone 15 will be the last phone I have that doesn’t have a desktop mode. I’ll hold out for a long time.
