Anonymous, 05 Apr 2022Meanwhile iPhone 6s from 2015 still getting major updates e... moreMore updates is all it has though. Otherwise it was behind in every single way.
Not to mention the reality is that those updates are super buggy until like 20 updates are sent out that you just have to wait and update and wait and update for.
And they cripple the older ones.
Especially ones like 6s. Low storage, ram, and battery capacity was the death of most older iphones despite what their fans claimed about "oh but optimized". Especially after updates.

The Android Freak, 05 Apr 2022Filled with so many bugs. Nope I have OnePlus 6T and it runs perfectly fine with no noticeable bugs and battery life didn't change much for me.

Doesn't project treble and project mainline mean all Android phones will keep getting important driver and Google play services updates for years, we'll past their official support? iPhones only get officially updated for so long because their updates for everything come all at once. iOS update system isn't modular and doesn't silently update in the background like Android does with the Play store driver/GPS updates.

Peter UK, 05 Apr 2022And? It's way slower with newest iOS and there's ... morei can confirm Samsung is doing the same, is trick they to make you buy new unit.. i have still A3 2017, when i got the last security patch back in January 2021, final patch for that phone. After the restart the phone become so sluggish, and at beginning you have to wait 2-3 minutes before you can use the phone as it should be, even after that, isn't very shiny.. but at at least you can do the basics on it... and no i haven't nothing installed on it, in fact after i bought the newer phone, i removed apps, i thought is going to be faster.. but is still the same, and before that last final patch, the phone was just running fine, wasn't that slow.. also Samsung is well known for doing the same

Anonymous, 05 Apr 2022Good going by Samsung. Other brands like Xiaomi can't ... moreFunny that you feel the need to dig at Xiaomi when Sony phones from 2018 are also not getting update anymore. As a Sony user, you feel its ok Sony still only giving 3 years update even for 2021 models? Gimme a break. You are a Samsung fanboy, plain and simple.

Well that was quick, maybe i'm just spoiled by Apple's software support. I hate how disposable phones are nowadays.

ozone, 05 Apr 2022sorry, it is really old because of poor sw support, it has ... moreYeah, if its running Android 10 with OneUI 2.5, it's not really receiving updates. It might receive a security patch four times per year, but that's just a token gesture.
I don't like Xiaomi, but at least it tends to provide the latest version of MIUI to its phones, despite not upgrading Android.

my s9 may be the only 2018 flagship that received major android updates for 30 months and security updates for 48 months. s10 is still the only 2019 flagship running android12 as of today. sw support even extended to 60 months by 2021 flagships. quite an example for all other android manufacturers.
