Samsung might copy Google's trick: seven years of updates for the Galaxy S24.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10756719

Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

  • Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

  • The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

  • There’s speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

    You need two app stores, two browsers, an exceptionally annoying keyboard that has its own “privacy” policy?

      That’s the thing that drove me over the wall. The KEYBOARD, of all things. Requesting access to my contacts persistently.

      The non-Samsung keyboard also has a privacy policy FYI, the one Google preinstalls just assumes you’re okay with its policy because you already agreed to the rest of Google’s privacy statements.

      I don’t see what’s annoying about the keyboard though, it’s just a normal keyboard.

      Really love this community, so one-dimensional and not willing to accept alternate views, and can’t wait to twist words in people’s mouth to make themselves feel better intellectually superior.

      Good luck in growing this community.
