ijeffRecapping Pixel software and Feature Drops in 2023
Pasta DentalPixels are so damn tempting, but their in house SoC is just a deal breaker sadly. If Google made the software for Samsung phones, they would be perfect in my opinion, Samsungs OneUI and software support is a bit meh in my opinion, especially for a major brand and not a Chinese OEM
ElkendersSupport is really good on Samsung, no?
Heh, they get 4 years OS (5 total) but the thing is after the new device generation is released, the previous year immediately falls behind in terms of update speed and overall optimization.
Nah. On basically all other OEMs once your phone isn’t the latest and greatest anymore it falls behind in terms of updates, even if it does get updated. The same update may take longer to arrive, maybe a week, maybe a month, who knows? Meanwhile on Pixels and iPhones everybody gets updated on the same day.
I don’t think that’s the case these days to be honest. Samsung’s good with updates.
Here’s the release schedule for Samsung’s Android 14 update. The Galaxy S22 series was like 2 weeks behind the S23s.
