Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter - Lemmy.world

Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter::Today, Samsung posted its Q2 2023 financial results. The report says Samsung’s profits have dropped considerably compared to last year.

When money is tight you might use your phone for a year or two longer. 1000 Euro phones also don’t help the matter.

While I don’t use a Samsung, I am over half way through my phones fifth year. Other than a battery replacement I’ve had literally no problems whatsoever.

If only lifespan and right to repair were written into law everywhere.

Software updates are the problem unfortunately
Developers require money, and software maintenance requires lots of developers, testers and other people.
That’s why the bootloaders of phones should be required to be unlocked by law. You can always root your phone and install a custom ROM on it to keep up to date.
