potato4k, 05 Nov 2024So no answer. Got it. I’ve been saying this for years no... moreI never said *I* am looking for fast updates but im just saying that people seem to buy samsung phones for their fast updates yet Vivo is here giving similarly quick ones.

Additionally, these are premium phones, they aren't necessary for life, yet you buy them. So fast updates aren't crucial either, yet are a nice to have. Dunno if you're stupid or ignorant enough to not get it.

    403 Forbidden, 05 Nov 2024I have a theory that both FuntouchOS and OriginOS might hav... moreinteresting theory but most features are the same so what i think is that the features are developed by Vivo in China for Origin OS and then those features are just sent to the Funtouch OS team to make a Global variant. That's my theory.

        jiyen235, 05 Nov 2024why doesn't samsung, the "king" of fast upda... moreSo no answer. Got it.

        I’ve been saying this for years now. Android version upgrades are no longer crucial. Security patches are more important on a mature OS.

            Samsung is looking away in a distance

              Anonymous, 05 Nov 2024What is that? Global? Chinese phones usually put out updates and stuff faster on their China-only version of the software. For example, Oneplus uses Color OS in China and Vivo uses Origin OS in China but in every other country, Oneplus uses Oxygen OS and Vivo uses Funtouch OS.

              So what they usually do is first put out updates on the Chinese models and then put out updates on the Global models, the global variants used to receive updates quite late but they're getting quicker now!

                AlexS, 05 Nov 2024What is up with media and the need to promote click to sear... morepeople love the feature that's why everyone's talking about. I know it's basic and does nothing more than Google Lens already did years ago but people love when companies find a new way to do old things. That's the Apple effect 😉

                  Everybody is so fast with updates this year! I've got the global beta on my Honor Magic V3 already, which is a marked improvement over the 7 months it took them to release the Android 14 beta (let alone stable).

                        rizki1, 05 Nov 2024Behind the Pixel, there are already several Chinese phones ... morethe most impressive aspect of this is that this is the GLOBAL variant

                          potato4k, 05 Nov 2024I don't understand how these OEMs could list circle to... morethat's like saying Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo and Huawei are taking credit from Sony for having a 1 incher, what are you blabbering about?

                          It's a feature, they implemented it. Google owns Android, so are manufacturers lazy for having stock android or something? You find 1000 different ways to complain about the most minute of things.

                            AlexS, 05 Nov 2024What is up with media and the need to promote click to sear... morebecause it's been the number 1 thing everyone advertised, i remember people buying the S24 Ultra just because of the circle to search feature. THAT"S how much people seem to care about this insignificant feature.

                            So if there's demand and every reviewer loves it, why wouldn't they talk about it?

                              potato4k, 05 Nov 2024What features of Android 15 that would significantly change... morewhy doesn't samsung, the "king" of fast updates provide fast updates? Everyone glazes about the update speeds and now you're talking about new features? Nice excuse. When everyone else has slow updates on other phones you say the security patches make all the difference, when there's fast updates on other phones you say there's little to no difference on Samsung and that's why they don't do it.

                                What is up with media and the need to promote click to search? Are media paid for it?

                                    I don't understand how these OEMs could list circle to search as their feature update, when it's Google that provided the feature. It's like they did nothing but took credit for it.

                                        Behind the Pixel, there are already several Chinese phones that can get Android 15 this fast...
