                  We're talking about "4 OS Upgrades", not the security patches btw. Nothing really special with 3 OS upgrades btw (except if you're using some Chinese midrangers then sure it's special). Speaks about Pixel, Pixel 4 receives Android 13 SOONER btw. Both Pixel 4 and Samsung A51 come with Android 10.
                  Security patch is a different story. Sure A51 receives 1 year more security patch than Pixel btw... just if the majority of users care about it. The problem is, only a small number of people like us tech enthusiasts or enterprises that care about security patches.

                    Also another example, a midrange phone from 2019 Galaxy A51 got its 3rd OS upgrade LAST YEAR.

                    So, if i were to choose, which Android brand (out of 1000 brands) thats more believable to deliver long software support, it is Samsung.

As far as I know I feel like this is more like a "pure fashion" phone, where most likely the market is aimed at girls to switch from iPhone. Those "mini-makeup-box" style phones will be unique to them and especially useful for those who do frequent TikTok vlogs.
                                Also speaks about efficiency, tbh there's not much difference when we compared 8 Gen 2 with 8+ Gen 1 which is already efficient enough. But yeah they should put a better camera and a bigger sub-4000mAh battery instead.

It could've also used better cameras, like a 50 MP Samsung GN1 or a 64 MP Sony IMX787 for the wide sensor,

                                        The cover screen layout is ugly and really differs from the current samsung design language. The new Motorola razr is better.
