Samsung might copy Google's trick: seven years of updates for the Galaxy S24.

Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

  • Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

  • The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

  • There’s speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

    “you can’t uninstall a system-app” (while trying to get rid of all the bloatware like mcaffee)

    “you cannot upgrade to win8, but you can factory-reset your win7”

    “you can only factory-reset 3 times, please call <insert company>-support!”

    “you don’t have access to this file”

    "defender has removed this ‘malware’ and there’s nothing you can do about it’

    “You can’t install linux on this machine, this machine came bundled with Win7Home”

    “you cannot install this program”

    “you are not allowed to enter the bios”

    “you cannot boot from this non-licensed device” (usb-stick)

    etc.

    One of these would probably do it :-)
