WW3, 24 Jan 2025Android 16 already? Mine still android 8. 🫡I'm sure it's your 2nd phone, your main phone might be a newer Android. If yes, I would like to know what phone is with your Android 8.

    Companies say 3 or 4 years of update. So we should get all the Android versions in those 3-4 years.

          Pheelzy, 24 Jan 2025Meanwhile samsung users haven't see Android 15. And... moreYeah, they never gave the timeframe for the updates so you can't really expect a new version to be seeded on release

                Samsung Galaxy S24 just got another Android 21/One UI 13 upgrade. While many chinese flagship from 2027 dont get Android OS anymore.

                Huawei, Oppo/OnePlus, Sony mobile, and Asus mobile declared bancruptcy few years ago.

                  Pheelzy, 24 Jan 2025Meanwhile samsung users haven't see Android 15. And... moreSamsung promised 7 years of support. They didn't promise to upload a new Android version as quickly as possible when it was released. For example, they could send 7 consecutive updates from A15 to A21 shortly before the end of the seventh year. 🤣

                      Meanwhile samsung users haven't see Android 15.

                      And samsung promised seven years of os update.

                      😂

                        Android upgrades and Phone upgrades have reached their stagnation.

                            I also can't believe how certain features are locked on specific android versions.

                            Installing an Android 11 cfw on my old abandoned Android 5 devices shows these companies can. But won't.

                                  excellent scheme, at first companies like Google, Samsung and some others started promising more Android updates and users thought if they're promised 5 Android updates it means 5 years of support, but now they will just release Android updates more often, maybe 2 Android updates per year

                                    Nobody, 24 Jan 2025Still waiting for 15 on my Samsung yet 16 is already out🤔Getting ridiculous the frequencies of these new versions, why can they not just implement it into a update on 15 or something.

                                    It feels like a scam
