One plus is right about updates. Excess updates damage the hardware because aging hw can't keep up with updated plus most oem don't provide spare parts after 4 yrs from the launch of device.



"No wonder, the sales of Android flagship are dominated by Samsung. Most people are tired of any lazy excuses made by chinese brand."

Dominated by samsung because people are too dumb and prefer brands instead of actual products. People are not tired of excuses, they become blind when making purchase prefering brand and don't think about quality. If you don't believe look at how people accept exyflop stove.




"Oneplus might as well hiring the elementary schooler as their CEO, and could have almost similar kind of excuse."

It looks like you are an elementary kid who has been given internet by his parents and it's clear from your comments you have personal vendetta against chinese, right?

    And Applel devices slowing down the more updates they get.

    As to Samsung, they can boast about this in 7 years if they don't stop producing spare parts past year 2 🤣🤣. Because oled burns and batteries yeet themselves. And oh, the S24 have their screen turn into a grainy mess not even a month from release. 😅

    And did I forgot to mention how they got rid of the A52S in shops when A53 dropped? 😭
    So much for 5 year support for A series lmao.

      And OnePlus ain't laxy. They just telling the truth since most people, including you probably, will change before half of that 7 year period ends.
      But we will see on how long Sammy provides spare parts for their products. They cornered themselves into this business model and long term supported products are lost sale.

          Not really futureproof, the titanium will corrode away affecting antenna, and it's signal quality.. the latter years of updates will be useless.

              1. 7 years warranty of bloated battery and overheating for having faster charging speed than samsung
              2. 7 years warranty of best camera result for having bigger sensor and megapixel camera than samsing
              3. 7 years warranty of zero buggy software and lagginess for having faster chipset than samsung for the same price of phone.

              Now tell me, which 7 years of warranty (from above) are given by chinese brand, smart boy?

                                In all their official forums, Samsung avoids any interaction.
