I bet Android 17 won't run smoothly on 4 gigs of RAM not to mention Android 20.

    Budget A series are scam with poor build quality. They don't get knox security, secure folder and other one UI features. Go for A30 and above.

      It looks like CMF PHONE1 better than this Samsung device because last few years Samsung dont care about its customers and give them old design in the same price.

        Ditch the 3.5mm, not a good idea when the earbuds are out of battery

          6 yrs updates?
          S series get latest android updates asap within a year but for low end phones it takes 2 yrs.
          Technically its 3 yrs of os updates and 6 yrs of security updates

              I love to see so many OS specialists here.
              They know all about the future.
              Can you give me the loto numbers, too?

              LOL

                Minu, 7 hours agoI wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last beyond... moreThe Exynos 1330 is a lesser version of the Exynos 1280, a chip that customers complained Android 12 was laggy running on it.

                  Six years of updates to the operating system on a phone with an Exynos 1330 chip and 4GB ram...🤣
                  Whoever buys it, I have great lands to sell you, all you have to do before using them is to dry the swamps and quicksands on them😆

                    Samsung tends to throttle lower-end Galaxy A phones every time a new OS update drops, so I'm not holding my breath on this claim.

                      lot of people crying here, hahaha if you don't like it. don't buy it. better get crappy chines or Indian brands with lots of adds buggy os from day one and lack of software updates good luck :)

                        If the A16 lost it's headphone jack then the A26 will ditch that too.

                        I'm more excited to see the A26, it feels like it will get a huge refresh that will get it to be at the level of A34. 🙏

                          ok at this point, xiaomi redmi devices are not worth it anymore.

                            PureOS, 4 hours agoGuys, stay away from this phone. Yes , it will get 6 years ... moreSimple.

                            After 2 years , even on S and Z series the patches start to be every 3 months.
                            Then every 4 months.
                            Then every 6 months.
                            At some point, only once with new android.

                              Exybos varient may survive but dimensity is not a good option

                                No jack, no buy I'm afraid. This is genuinely ridiculous

                                  bro that's gonna be litterally unusable after even 3 updates let alone 6

                                    infinix is crying in the corner🤣

                                      By the 3rd OS update it'll likely already be extremely laggy with that SoC and a skin heavy as OneUi also good luck with 4gb of ram even in 2024 let alone in 2030. Samsung's seems to have found a new marketing tactic here or just straight up doing crack.

                                        Guys, stay away from this phone. Yes , it will get 6 years of android, but they don't mention how it will work. There is a catch. They always has coverage, cause they rly didn't say anything about fluidity. Plus, 4gb of ram? Its bare minimum even today, and that on stock android. Again, stay away from this!!!!
