      Super

        OS update or System App Update, doesn't matter, when it comes to such a huge company that can't even bothered to test even the smallest update before pushing it out, even though they are so committed to 7 years of software support now. Pathetic.

          Oh no... they're forcing people who still use S10 series to buy s24 series.

            Heeey its samsung so hope you did not expect something else.
            Be like me swap your phone every 2 years when the warranty for it ends sell it and buy new device problem solved.

                The only update I am seeing on my Galaxy S10+ is from March 2023 and I still have not downloaded nor installed it... Is there something newer? I thought the 2019 phones were already no longer receiving updates...

                  if only they didn't update the phone, they could've continued to use it for a few years.

                    Modeey, 04 Oct 2024Samsung tell you it's time for upgrade 🙃The irony is that there isn't a single unit of either of these phones covered by the warranty or at least by extended warranty, meaning they wouldn't provide a motherboard replacement or a software reinstallation. They'll overcharge for a replacement, so those affected users are simply forced to buy a new phone.

                      Samsung purposely does this and famous for it. They intentionally bootloop older devices to get new sales but eventually will loose the customer

                              Spanky, 04 Oct 2024And people buy Samsung for its reliability… 😒 By the way, i... moreHow about you buy phones that receives 0 or 1 OS update and leave those of us who want phones that receives 5+?

                              Only reason I bought Galaxy S21+ over alternatives, earlier this year, was because I knew it'll receive Android 15. And I'd still sell this, add a little extra money to it and buy Galaxy S23+ either late next year or early 2026. Before you talk silly in the name of lecturing me, I most likely know about phones way more than you do.

                              One more thing: the writer provided source links, but somehow either had trouble reading or didn't grasp the contents, because I just checked out the first one and found that it was an app update, not an OS/firmware update, that is the culprit, yet RO made it seem otherwise. What piqued my suspicion was that both series of phones mentioned had reached EOL since about a year ago. I know because I owned Note 10+ (which I sold for the equivalent of ~$160, added extra ~$78 and got the S21+5G). So I wanted to see the kind of update Samsung pushed. I usually don't check out source links, but maybe I should start doing that seeing how misleading this article is.
