  • 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.

    Every time I’ve needed a new phone I’ve considered Samsung. But I just can’t buy into their extremely heavy modifications and have always opted for a clean android experience. Their hardware looks amazing and I want nothing more in a phone than a Samsung running stock.

      If I may, what is your current phone? Finding one that fits the bill isn’t an easy task nowadays

        I’m using a Pixel 6 pro. It’s got some quirks, but overall it works for me.
