Samsung Galaxy S24 and S23 users face disappointment as the company has not yet implemented seamless updates, a feature that allows for uninterrupted system updates, unlike Apple's efficient update system. While Google has been pushing for seamless updates with Android 15, Samsung's flagship phones still require full-system reboots for updates, causing inconvenience. The Galaxy S25 series might be the first to offer this feature, but current users remain in a wait-and-see mode. Meanwhile, Samsung continues to release security updates, albeit with delays and limited availability.
The Google Pixel 6, once a promising smartphone, has significantly deteriorated in performance and reliability within just two years of use. Despite being a heavy user, the author expected the phone to maintain its functionality, especially with Google's promise of three major Android updates and five years of security updates. However, issues like an unresponsive fingerprint sensor, poor battery life, malfunctioning Bluetooth, and touchscreen problems have persisted even after Google's attempts to fix them. This experience has led the author to consider skipping future Pixel models and raises concerns about the longevity and environmental impact of such devices. Google risks losing loyal customers if the durability of their phones does not improve.
