From a converted SUV, they've demonstrated their ability to suck up all the data from smartphones in a shopping centre. Of course, this is the kind of technology that can end up in the wrong hands (especially as France has let Nexa trade with dictatorships in the Middle East, regimes that have since fallen) and make a lot of money. There's a reason why identity theft is soaring. These people end up with your name, date of birth, address, social security number, bank account, telephone number, email address, any passwords you might have, locations, social network accounts, etc., all of which they can use to steal your identity.

That's not fair it gets 6 updates while last years A55 and A35 only get 4 updates. They should increase last years A35 and A55 especially with the delay of One UI 7

Luke, 25 Feb 2025no, it's not just a Samsung thing. It's Android f... moreOlder mid-range Samsungs used to authoritatively close applications to manage RAM shortages. It's well known. That's why you should always aim for at least 8GB of RAM in 2025, which is the minimum you'll need to enjoy your smartphone until 2031, given the inflation in consumption caused by new versions of Android/OneUI.

PartTimePhoner, 25 Feb 2025- Redmi Note 7 and Note 8: 1 OS update, 2 years of security... moreI need updates to plug critical security holes that can be exploited by hackers, just like everyone else (but not everyone knows that). New versions of Android, on the other hand, are of no use to me, as most of the features already exist in OneUI 4.1.

Don't be like Apple users, which are thankful to Apple for not giving them a chance to mess up with their iphones, hence they are "always perfect and fast" :)

- P40 Lite: Unclear. Phone came out just around the bans so unclear, but apparently had an update last year, though not any OS updates since... you know... huawei...
As for your S10e, well, of course. My A50 runs great too. Why do you need updates if your phone runs great anyways?
J7 Prime 2 does have 32gb storage, yes, but its a low-end midranger from 7 years ago. It's impressive that it still runs at all.
