Clearly the phones that cost more than 500 dollars, whatever brand they are, is for people who can afford to pay for them.

                    My 3 year old Samsung S3 Tab just got updated to Android 9 with a confirmed March 2020 security patch. This is way better support than LG and some other manufacturers.

Not all apple fans buy $1400 iPhones, I only paid $800 for mine (IPhone Xs). And don't forget that this year's IPhones may start at $549 which is a first for the Apple brand. And you will still receive updates for at least 4 years.

Are you insane my guy? This is what Apple users do, I aint about that life. Also I dont care about Instagram videos and Facebook , I aint an influencer like you. I dont need OS updates on android cause it is the same the last 2 years, you need them to keep up with your stagnant OS. Oh one last thing, no matter how many security patches they make, they will always be something else out there. So maybe just maybe , dont click on stupid links and you want get hacked. Raive all you want about your piece of metal and its worth , its not jewelry its a smartphone and they all do pretty much the same.

                              New IOS features are just years old features of Android, especially samsung phones. Weird eh.

                                  Beside samsung stop updates for older galaxy,
                                  Samsung forcing people outside USA to buy Exynos version.
                                  Samsung permanently glue the battery so you cant change the battery in Service if your battery life decreased (watch JerryRig youtube video about flagship samsung).
                                  Are you still want to buy them?

                                    As we talk about updates, lets remember that android phone manufacturers provide poor updates and patches, causing all sorts of problems to the user. This is the sole reason I choose not to upgrade or update my phone. Look at the comment section for the phones listed here, many users experience problems after new updates, the main culprit being battery drain. Other updates make the phones unusable, like the last update for my moto g2 in 2017. Manufacturers have really messed the upgrade process and only google and oneplus have excelled in providing stable updates with minimal problems.

                                      Easy, if you care about software updates or you plan to keep a phone more than 2 years, don't buy Android phones, especially flagship (being that you will loose even more money with these).
                                      Also, if you want a second hand phone (which in my opinion are the best way to go, but to know where to buy them), buy iphones. Even a 3-4 year model, will receive updates for another 2.
                                      The end.

                                        Stopped buying samsung devices after the s7 since the exynos (only option available here in PH) fell behind the snapdragon versions. It actually narrows down my choices so no complaints.
                                        -Oneplus (only phone here with the sd 865 unless you ship from the gray market) for flagship and Xiaomi for midrange and and entry level. Oppo/vivo/realme starting this year are priced outrageously for what they are.
