            my bro still has the note 8 since 2017, and yet still kept its high performance compared to newer flagships (because of that sloppy crappy one UI)
            its still running on android 8 and its still fast and battery life is still great, and he games on it too,
            he didnt want to update it to android 9 with one UI because he knows thats gonna mess the phone up ( u know how power hungry is one UI)

Like I kept my SE1 on 10.3.2 and I can only download about 80% of the apps that I could on my 12 mini. I can't download all my games because ao many need a higher firmware minimum. Sometimes if I can, it's an older version of that app.

                  While on Android, I had a Nexus 4 still on KitKat and it could still download and play games like Mario Kart Circuit. I believe if your iOS is already 2-3 years old, you won't be able to download updates for those apps. There's a minimum requirement. While I can still update my apps while still on Marshmallow and Nougat..

                  While I'm back using an iPhone as my daily driver, the statements above is why I still prefer Android over iOS. It's also much easier for me to find old apks for Android. Some updates can ruin an app.

                    S8 is probably last best Samsung phone. Notification LED, Press sensitive home button... So joyous to use. Gave it to my wife after I bought S10 and regreted my new purchase since.

                      custom ROMs are a thing too people
                      even the S7 has a stable OneUI 2.5 Android 10 ROM

                              Edge screen looks cool but something I don't miss using. Good thing Samsung had moved away from it and simply curves the display a little.

                                Hmmm, 04 May 2021Samsung should end smartphone segment Lol no. Samsung is one of the fewest smartphone companies which still sells a small flagship and ion want Samsung to end it
