            Star-Lord.be, 23 Feb 2024For the s21plus android 15 will be the last major update, after that 1 year of security update... moreVerified that too - last major OS will be Android 15 + 1 year of quarterly security patches.

            But who knows - With Samsung changing its OS policy 2x since 2021 and last year - we may see another change before then.

            As of now, this would be my last Samsung phone - as I see many other brands that offer equal or better offerings, and more affordability. For the money ($600) I paid 30 months ago - I can get something much better, newer and HALF what I paid from back then.

              For the s21plus android 15 will be the last major update, after that 1 year of security updates every 3 months. Sad but true. It is even on the official support page from samsung. However, 7 years of support is nice but only a few use a smartphone more then 3 or 4 years. Have the s21plus since the beginning and the little problems/annoyances have arrived. Poor signal (have a second cheap work samsung with same provider, way better signal, stable). Sudden freezing of whatever i am doing, needs reboot. So dunno, maybe they cause this on purpose with software so you buy a new one. But the amount of bloatware also annoyance me. Looking at that oneplus 12 and tempted. Others who hear something rattling in there phone? Part of a camera maybe.

                                Same price, second hand but 1 year warranty: S21+ or Pixel 6?

                                S21+ has worse night video and worse stabilization compared to Pixel. Pixel has slightly worse battery and apparently some bugs (don't know if still happens in 2024).

                                        Dionyself, 26 Dec 2023People need to understand the green line issue, this happens when the screen and the main boa... morei would not agree that, because simple: if the connection is weak, just a little repair on the connector should do it, the fact is from the old S6 era, the issue is still persist and yes Samsung never ever test QC the panel for year, they just QC for weeks and then sold it

                                        Once again any OLED panel is unreliable than LCD, you should know that samsung tend to sell more QLED TV rather than promote OLED TV like LG, because OLED panel is too expensive and not so reliable for consumer

                                        but for Commercial: OLED is much cheaper than use LCD Panel for 100 inch screen which once broke must replace 1 LCD but OLED just replace few panel only
