      Don't check with high range phone use the low range (cpu , ram) phone hardware spec also.

        You using an unlocked device or a carrier device ?

          Living in Canada, Samsung release update here, like 2 or three months after everywhere else on this planet. I tired of them.

            Apple deliberately slow down older phones so that newer code does not take toll on hardware.

                  Anonymous, 09 Mar 2025"The hardware can't handle it" Gee i wonde... moreApple's Silicon chip only needs to work on Apple's closed-wall mobile OS. By contrast, you have multiple custom skins from Android OEMs, so they don't share the same software optimization despite having the same Snapdragon chip.

                  Also, the OP's right about hardware. You can play around with the software as much as you like while it keeps getting bigger and bigger each day, but the hardware will remain fixed forever. That's why I always maintain that three or four OS updates are more than enough for smartphones, especially when most people keep their phones for a maximum of four to five years.

                    Meanwhile, Sony's Mk6 Xperia 1/10 and Mk5 Xperia 1/5/10 already got the Android 15 OS update as early as November 2024.

                        Nothing is better than Google's stock Pixel UI. 💯🔝🚀

                            Well to be fair OneUI is about 2 Android version ahead of stock android (Pixel), so even if update is 6 months late, feature set is still 1.5 year ahead of Pixel. For Samsung users Android version is just a meaningless number buried somewhere in system settings. 80% of new features come from Samsung and OneUI, not Android version (which by the way then gets copied by Google and applied into stock android lol).

                              I am beginning to doubt the 7 year major update Samsung is claiming because up to now they cannot even update the s22 to Android 15! And Google is already working on android 16.

                                  Anonymous, 09 Mar 2025Still crying in comment sections? Remember Samsung isn'... moreBeta 3 was stable on the 24 7/8 weeks ago bud.. 25 series was pushed out start on jan.. it doesnt take 4 mths to tweak their software.
                                  Samsung have held off on a general release for so long now its never going to meet people's expectations once it starts to roll out sometime in April..and the longer they hold off the higher the expectations will be and or phone enthusiasts will have just lost interest entirely which by the majority of comments they already have..
                                  4 months of unnecessary waiting because samsung didn't bring enough to the table with the 25 line is just poor form. All the things I used to pay out on apple for samsung have become just as bad and even perhaps worse.. I know samsung are definitely not on the forefront when it comes to hardware but when they start using there software as a selling point and can't even get that right (on purpose) they're adding insult to injury and showing no loyalty to their consumers whatsoever.

Or because they promise things that are difficult to achieve. Or because they are incompetent.
                                      They just "polish". 🤣🤣🤣

                                        YourLocalPhoneCritic, 09 Mar 2025iOS updates roll out to all iOS/iPadOS devices at the same ... moreNeeding to shave off old code isn’t why Samsung takes so long to release updates. There’s two reasons why they take so long: first, they make way too many phones and variants of each phone. Both Apple and Samsung need to optimize their OS for each device because that’s just how making an OS works, but Samsung takes a much longer time to do this because they make 20 different models a year (plus separate model variants for each carrier), while Apple only makes 4-5. This means that Samsung has to spend a lot longer tweaking OneUI to work properly on each device compared to Apple. The second reason Samsung takes so long is so that they can give people a reason to buy their new phones. By not giving the S24 OneUI 7 even though they promised 7 years of updates, Samsung can give people a reason to buy the S25 when it’s only a tiny upgrade over the S24. This is a shitty business practice and there should be laws against it
