Apple recently experienced this, an update bricking iPhones had to be stopped, it was the Beta iOS 17.3 & affected users can roll back to the previous version whilst Apple are resolving it:

One UI and others are boring too.
For example Samsung forces you to have 50 plus samsung apps which you already have from google.
For what sake you need to have Samsung brownser and google chrome at same time in phone??? Both apps dies the same but cost you a lot of disk space, ram and both runs on backround slowly eating your phone performance.
In samsung phone there is at least another 20 apps which you already got from google and usually better. Like clocks, calculator, notes, screen mirroring, smart cast etc.
Said skins are useless if you cant remove either app and you have 2 apps doing same thing but from different company.
No matter how you look at it in this case is said Motorola better because have better ram management and disk space management and stock android does not need to run 150 system apps on backround plus another XYZ apps you downloaded and installed from play store or Samsung app gallery which is also same ap giving exactly same bloatware like google play.
Thus to my point.

If we didn't have it, burn in would become a real hassle again.

Annoying if you have a £1000 S8 ultra tab and you are waiting longer than an A33 for the updates. This is annoying me a lot.

Software engineers say hi to you, lol. By your logic their job shouldn't exist. We need only hardware engineers from now on, lol.
But anyway, I doubt you will ever understand. Your mind is already made on something. So, what can I say, good luck to you.
As for the stock android, is boring for me. One Ui and Oxygen OS are the best skins for me. Even MiUi is better for me than stock Android. That is why I will never buy in future Pixel, Motorola or Sony phones.

Maybe you should communicate with them, & if still not resolved then follow up with National/ EU consumer protection law.
Good luck.

Anonymous, 14 Jan 2024Unusual for Xiaomi.I doubt that info is true. I had mid-range and budget phones from Xiaomi in past and they never released security patches on monthly bases. Definitely not in the middle of the month for security patch of that month. For their upper mid-range phones or flagship yes, but budget phones no.
I don't know why some people will lie just to increase the image of a company or another.
I am not trying to say bad words here, I am just trying to be honest and don't give false info for people who actually will consider getting a budget phone, just because they see wrong info on this comment section.
So please don't lie people.
Thanks.

And only there, after android 14. Samsung is aware of it. Sadly Samsung Scandinavia doesn't do anything for free. We need to pay for new screen, while the rest of the world get new on warranty.

Never had an issues with security patches. I am not using my phone as a credit card. Rather will draw and swipe my card than use a phone. But my point stands. Never had an issues with security.
And at least i am not bothered by every week or month by new updates.
Samsung Ram management sucks. Xiaomi were much better. Motorola is like a dream. Same ram, same cpu, gpu like top samsung phnes half the price and no bloatware in phone.
Thats the reality.
