      AnonD-1037771, 23 Sep 2022PLEASE READ THIS!!! DO NOT UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION !!... moreTotally agree with you, I've updated my S9 few months ago now all I see is a faded display & slow performance heating issue phone gone crazy.

        AnonD-1037771, 23 Sep 2022PLEASE READ THIS!!! DO NOT UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION !!... moreLMAO I KNEW IT. I thought why are they putting efforts into maintaining the old s6??? They want to remove them from the market, they just last too long and people are supposed to buy new phones. I'll definitely believe that the update will slow the device down in some way, even if they only decreased the swap file size or something etc. they can easily mess with that.

          Why dont you upgrade to latest Lineage 19.1. if you got flat, or on latest crdroid rom if you got edge S6? Working great for me.

            PLEASE READ THIS!!!
            DO NOT UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION !!! After about 2 weeks or so you will get the following message:

            "Battery deterioration/reduction in performance

            It appears that your battery is experiencing a reduction in performance. This can affect battery life as well as the performance of your mobile.

            Please visit one of our Support Centers or the Samsung Support website for further help and advice. To learn more click here.

            Please note that you may need to pay for replacement of a battery if you battery is no longer under warranty or covered by consumer protection laws."

            Battery was ok before the message. I'm curious to see how it will work from now on.

              Anonymous, 22 Sep 2022some of us here in the states can't afford to upgrade ... moreCause the opposing was so much better being like hur dur covid won't even be a big deal. Don't even worry about it. Or a few more cases no worries we have it under control. Oh its a problem now but don't worry it will dissappear in April heat like magic.......
              Not to mention non of them have anything to do with these greedy companies just being greedy companies. That doesn't change regardless of who's in office....
              Logic. You should try it.

So I guess your scenario is even more utopian :(.

                      Samsung Should provide Andriod 13 for those models, they released after month of June. 2nd quarter of 2019. That way they could show generousity.

                        It is totally unexpectable. Samsung A90 5g was last rolled to Market after December 2019. It was not even been 3 years. It stopped till Andriod 12. It should have been given till Andriod 13 update.

The Exynos 5433 uses a 64-bit CPU (Cortex A57+Cortex A53) and 20 nm fabrication process, while the Snapdragon 805 uses a 32-bit CPU and 28 nm fabrication process. That's why the Galaxy Note 4 can't run a 64-bit software, because if the Exynos version runs a 64-bit software (since Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop update) and the Snapdragon version runs 32-bit software, it would't be fair
