[deleted post]Still better to say sorry, than samsung that never say sorry to his customer that using his smartphones with a defects chipset(exynoss) before the exynoss 2100. Its underpowered, throttling, and not worth at all. And is there any apologies from them? Nothing at all

Its too late to make this new policy, after all in my country this samsung is to obsessed to use his exynoss inside. I use galaxy note 8 and im so disappointed with samsung no software update after 2 years and security update is so late to get, the ui is just ok. Now the cloud backup from samsung is disappeared and my cloud back up is scattered. Still better using iOS than samsung, he (samsung) can change his policy suddenly without some compensation. I bought a premium phone but doesnt feels like a premium at all, after 2 years using it feels like a trashes and now the third years im using this phone and I thought if i exchange my phone into a newer one i will be fortunate, but still in my country only the exynoss one that being sold in here and the exynoss 2100 are the real improvement that should be used inside the samsung in my country since a year ago. What i can’t accept is because i have to buy a smartphone with a defect chipset in a high prices, if used to play games it keeps getting hot this exynoss before the 2100 one

[deleted post]Do you mean the taste of software freezes, glitches, bloatware and bugs? Also the adware.

Samsung phones won't last more than 2 yrs. Bad experience and too expensive spares when serviced.

ALPHABOY17, 22 Feb 20213 years, of what? Of cripplin the phone? After 2 major upda... moreAnd that's why they just promised 3 years major update for Flagships, no news for mid-range or entry level. But I believed mid and entry get 1-2 major update
Still, 4 years of security update is pretty nice tho, not many brand will support their device that long.

AnonD-804996, 22 Feb 2021You replied with this to a guy who said Apple is best at th... moreI was referring to updates by all manufacturers, both iOS and Android.
My Galaxy Note 1 worked fine before it got a poorly patched update, which messed up the phone. I didn't update the software on my next phone, the Galaxy Note 2 for around 4 years and didn't face a single issue.
Also, as I highlighted in my previous reply, Apple admitted to intentionally slowing down older iPhones through updates. That IMHO is worse than a poorly patched update.
What do you find offensive in the things I've said above?

while better than most, they need monthly updates for all. apple does monthly updates for 5-7 years on all products...
