          It's pretty spot on as Samsung have numerous models they sell compared with Apple, but Apple is the iGod, think about it, the figures prove it. Be secure, go Apple. See the light.

And that's that. Everyone else has 3 years at best of which it's usually 2+1 and many cheaper phones only get a year only.

Users of new series have few more issues, but the rest is pretty tame. on XR only issue I have with Reddit not responding sometimes to back button which seems like app isn't playing well with iOS 15 since it's the only with issue. And I recently noticed Focus mode for Don't Disturb doesn't mirror even though it's enabled. It goes off on XR but not on AW5. And that's about it as far as bugs go on my end. Not exactly end of the world.

                  Maybe Samsung shipped more but Xiaomi outsellls Samsung in every aspect.

Compare that to a lot of android phone models on android phone companies you would really expect a lot of delays on the updates, atleast even if their updates are slow its usually a solid one that has a lot less bugs. Its good to see that there are android phone now which would have around 4-5 years of software support. I would rather have a slow but less bugs update than a fast one with a whole lot of headaches. Again considering the fact that iphones have so few models to update yet so full of bugs is a joke..

                        and where is oneplus ?

                          Anonymous, 15 Oct 2021go get siemens, or alcatel bro.Tbh the new TCL phones (Alcatel) look quite nice.

                            Anonymous, 15 Oct 2021Apple Samsung Xiaomi OnePlus are the best.Xiaomi is okay, they cut a lot of corners but generally good phones as a whole. OnePlus is decent too, a bit better software than Xiaomi. But Samsung products and solutions in general, I've never been a fan of those.

                            Apple, their phones have long update interval and are well thought out, but severely limiting and annoying to be in that walled garden.

                              claudiomp, 15 Oct 2021What? just the best brands!!Samsung, just overpriced here and quirky software imo.
                              Apple, well sometimes I just wanna move a file without itunes or install third-party apps, also way too expensive for me.
                              Oppo and Vivo, well then I'd rather just get OnePlus.
