      That was Samsung’s down fall. I have been using their phones since the Galaxy S i9000 released back in 2010, but earlier back then, it was justifiably to have 2 years of software update since the increase in chip speed was exponential and the phone was borderline too slow for even web browsing 2 years later.
      After that, I had the S4 (again, only two years of software update), got a S5 when I lost my S4 in 2016 before jumping onto the Galaxy S9+. A phone released in 2018 with the latest software being released in late 2019? Aka Android 10 like really??? It’s still usable in 2023 with the exception of the battery being completely worn out and the phone being a little slow.
      Since the S10, Samsung has watered down their phones to match the iPhone while iOS has finally giving users some limited level of customisation.
      It was a no brainier for me to replace my faithful S9+ was an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I’d likely never touch a Samsung device again after all the betrayal. For an Android phone, I’d pick the Google Pixel.

    Yup. Still using this phone as my daily driver. This phone and the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy S10 series are pretty much the LAST complete phones Samsung made.
    Im getting annoyed that the later flagships are downgrading their features like the headphone jack and expandable micro SD, limiting the user's options. All that just to cash grab consumers to buy more of their accessories separately, like wireless headphones and especially the charger.

    I have a samsung s9 exynos version. I got this phone in 2020 for free ( it had display pixel burn issues, cracked display near selfie camera and broken glass back). I've used it till 2022 and then i switched phones. Im still using this s9 as a secondary phone, installed evoX Android 13 custom rom and it works smoother than before.
