I dislike Samsung need to use Odin to unlock
Especially after Android pie, they have this RMM prenormal thingy that if you're phone have it, then it can't be unlock

Regardless, Apple is just as competitive on that front anyway.

    Everything else about Samsung nowadays though is a joke, and they've been obviously going downhill since the S22 series. Honorable mentions to the S21 and S21+ as well, as they came with downgraded displays, removed the microSD card slot and had almost no hardware upgrades. There was also the S10 Lite, Note10 series and the S20 series as they all removed the headphone jack.

          In fact, I don't care. But the app developers do. Many payment apps require recent versions and I'm forced to give up my favourite phones.

            A few years ago, I had an Honor phone that didn’t receive security patches for over three years and only got a single Android update. Yet, it worked perfectly fine software-wise. Now I’m using the Scamsung S24 Ultra, which thankfully hasn’t forced me to update to Android 15 and its new SH!T UI yet.
            Since I’m switching to Vivo soon, it doesn’t make any sense to get used to this new SH!T UI, only to have to learn another one next month when I import the Vivo. I was already seriously disappointed with the Android 14 SH!T UI on my Samsung S23 Ultra, but this year it’s just unforgivably bad.
            I don't know why everyone thinks Samsung has great software.

              Which one? No, but seriously, 2 of them do, the rest don't and that's fine.

              "..do you care whether you are running the latest version or are you happy with just the latest security patch?"

              I care about neither. Smartphones are secure and work perfectly without either of those, unless the USER themselves makes a mistake, in which case the latest OS and security patch can't help either.

              "Is it important that all new releases arrive on schedule.."

              If the device is one that supports the latest version and is confirmed to get it, then yes, otherwise no.

                Yes it did, even though realme stopped supporting this device at Android 13. But I and a few other handful developers still maintain custom roms for my phone.
                So we are currently at 15, and soon would be at Android 16, when that comes.

                Reason to buy devices with friendly bootloader permissions.

                  Yes and yes. This is one of the only advantages of owning a Google Pixel. Updates are almost always delivered in a timely manner, and I care about that because there's always something in a new Android release that is useful to me. Even the relatively lackluster Android 15 was important for me because it introduced app archiving, something which I use.

                    I have Android 14 or OneUI 6.1 and it works pretty good and is able to make a call to my mom when I search mom in contacts so it's pretty good imo 👍

                      Best for Samsung to skip A15 and focus on A16 asap.

                        kdss, 20 Apr 2025Yes. I don't have Samsung. 🤣I have a Samsung, it runs android 15 🤷🏻‍♂️

                          It doesn't matter until u get security patches. And even without them, phone will work normal. But manufacturers need to polish current version on maximum, not just let it with existent bugs.
