[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 77584012, member: 27106"] Samsung has their own additions to Android, and as a result, it can reportedly take longer for Android updates to funnel down to the Samsung phones. Google allegedly wants to put out "pure" Android phones. That means more software on Samsung phones to both get hacked, and "phone home" (whether hacked or not). Samsung does offer cheaper phones too (the A line) but the S24 family has 7 years worth of security updates [I]from the release of the phone model[/I]. For many of the A models, it's only 3 or 4 years from the release of the phone model. So you will be paying less for a phone you know that you will have to replace sooner. Although, I can't say for sure how long the batteries will last in those 7-year phones.
