[deleted post]OK then tell your friends at Samsung to come pick up those old Samsung e-trash phones that I still have sitting around on my desk, only collecting dust. They should recycle it. It's theirs after all according to you. Come and get your e-trash, Samsung. I am waiting and I don't have all day...

Anonymous, 30 Jul 2025Good, less vulnerable to theft.I know this is a wild idea, how about taking care of your own phone?
Why do you insist on having some corpo put a leash on you "for your own safety"?

It seems its time to jump ship from Samsung then.
It was coming a long time now anyway.
0 innovation, discrimination to the EU in the form of their Exynos bs, ridiculous pricing
If somebody still considers them, they might as well just buy a real iphone at this point, especially in the EU due to the new rules which made iOS far more tolerable.

Anonymous, 30 Jul 2025Good, less vulnerable to theft.Are computers vulnerable to theft now? Because you've been able to install whatever OS you want on them since forever, without restrictions. The argument some of you people make for "security" sake is something else...

OEM's should also provide methods for reinstalling their firmware via some installation ISO or something similar.

I hate how they iOS-fy their UI, and now they also take our freedom? Crazy that most people here defend that.
"bUt iT gOt 7 oS uPdAtEs" and what if I want to use my phone for 8 years or more? Bet they will say "jUsT gEt a NeW pHoNe". They are the reason the amount of waste on earth is increasing.
