                  it seems Samsung is driving Android these days and Google have taken a back seat.

                  Android 12 is mostly Samsung innovation, WearOS 4 is Samsung in large part, Samsung delivers updates much more reliably than Google.

                  It seems Google more or less have forfeited Android

G... moreDude, of course if you buy a porsche or tesla you get better support than when you buy the cheapest possible car. If you'll live with this mindset that anyone owes you anything, you're in for a bad surprise.

                      Anonymous, 29 Jan 2022Gotta give credit to Samsung for really caring about softwa... moreYeah, I love the whole Samsung experience. Most people keep talking trash about it but they're either apple fanboys or they never even used a samsung. My Note 20 Ultra got 3 large updates in the last 30 days. My entry-level Tab S6 Lite gets one update every month, sometimes two - since release date (I pre-ordered it). Samsung dominates the software support experience. And the fact that you can live chat with a representative or let technical support connect to your phone on distance is great. People trashtalking samsung everywhere are just bitter and their lives must be pretty sad.

But wait, are you really expecting those entry-level phones you listed to get more than 2 OS updates? You really expect phones in that tier to get as much support as the mid-rangers and flagships do? Wow! What won't one see on these gsma streets? The owners should be very happy to receive more than 1, but here you are moaning. Which OEM offers what you're asking for to phones in that price segment? Just mention 1. And hey, I assure you that if you were the one calling the shot in any of these companies, you'd most probably not, too. But don't worry, go ahead and convince yourself otherwise.

                                  Since you love phones with pure Android, go buy them, then. But thinking that because you do, that it's the best is ridiculous. It's your entirely subjective preference, one which most android users wouldn't share with you.

                                    BrianCoriour, 29 Jan 2022So old before new. No one even has a note 20 just how no on... moreI was happy to be alive when BrianCoriour claimed on gsmarena, in January 2022, that NO one has a note 20. And, as if that's not ludicrous enough, he followed it up by asserting that it's a fact, not an opinion… wait for it… all in caps. 😂😂😂

                                    Not surprised though, this is gsmarena comment section, where absurdities are rife.

                                        "Samsung travels to the future again, releases February update for the Galaxy Note20"

                                        Plot twist: they actually do travel in time to get the best possible security patches, but they sometimes forget to rename them.
