You're not bringing anything new to the table, in fact, you sound pedantic when everyone who reads you knows you just repeat the same stuff over and over, as any reactionist would do. Your display of knowledge is not as wide as you think it is. Sorry I was not the Samsung fanboy you expected me to be, as your reply instantly became useless after going with the lower tier bait.

        I see YarlingText been doing his thing in the comments section as usual, bringing Samsung on a Google news because that's what gets the quick reacts, the whataboutism on him is unreal.

                They should skip straight to Android 22 because now they're getting into cannon territory. they got away with 13-15 because nobody cares about movie 7.

                            Why are you crying too much for late updates? Everything works fine with android 14 one ui 6.1 and new update will come in may. Why late? Because its a huge update. My dad's pixel got android 15 but no changes at all. Same boring interface.

                                Why would anyone be happy for a brand going down, , especially brands like NOKIA or Blackberry whom innovations not only pivot the smartphones of today, they literally make smartphones of today work. 0 innovation since this two brand gave up their research labs, yet here commes the wannabe.
                                As much as i do not care about oppo or any other chinese brand (a lot of people here can confirm that) i would still not celebrate their demise, if only for the people that worked for this brands and their families. I would be more happier if they changed ethics then go bankrupt. Your attitude sais a lot about you as a person, there is a good saying: you reap what you saw.

                                        Will it improve the file management allowing us to save files in Documents folder inside a folder of our choosing and with several favorite folders in the save file UI?
                                        Because Android file management is horrible like something from XX century when we have now 512GB , 1TB storage in smartphones, tablets.
