UPDATE DELAY

TonyStark0310 — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:13:47 GMT

ONE UI 8.5 the Beta version started in November 2025 and it's already been 6+ months, we are now at month end of May 2026 and still Samsung hasn't rolled out the updates for every devices even the flagships, No official calendar, No dates, nothing

F*ck Samsung I'm now done with it

Today, OnePlus just launched its Oxygen OS 16.1 AND it's Fluidity, Animations, and Customisations are way better than Samsung's

Even the OnePlus have better Hardware, Features and Battery as compared to Samsung Phones available at same price bracket

Let's Compare

Samsung Galaxy A37 priced at 41k for 8/128GB having Exynos 1480 processor, 5000mAh battery and 120Hz Amoled panel

OnePlus Nord CE 6 priced at35k only for 8/128 having Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, 7000mAh battery, 2k Amoled 144hz Display

I've attached the comparison for both processor see by yourself

The Point is, Samsung isn't selling us phones anymore it's selling us Brand Name and nothing, the shittiest smartphones under 50k are now made by Samsung

Here's one more review, Samsung Galaxy M36 priced at 22k now on Flipkart has no AOD, Has battery of 5000 mAh and single downfiring speaker while it's precedecessor M35 has the same processor (Exynos 1380 ), Same Amoled Display but also has all the AI features, Dual stereo speakers, 6000mAh battery at exact same Price even less and how exactly is removing AOD option in F36 going to reduce it's cost ?

So what are we exactly paying Samsung for ?

Garbage , Buy Junk, Samsung's Junk

One software Update took them more than 6 months to get to the stable version from Beta still issues like battery drain are persistent and the update has been released for all the Samsung Phones.

I was Once a fan of Samsung, I just loved Samsung Phones but now it's me saying DON'T BUY SAMSUNG JUNKS...

Even phones nearly 50k in price are no match to that of OnePlus phones available at the same price point .

And if somebody is thinking about Galaxy AI you surely haven't used Google's AI features available in Google apps in Samsung, after Google I/O 2026 I'm expecting more advanced and improved Google AI features and about voice transcript and other such "Samsung only" features just tell me when was the last time you used those features

If any Samsung offical sees this post, please notice that Phones under 50k also exist and people buy them and if you cannot provide support or better features, just don't make them.

Comparison of Samsung A37 5g processor (Exynos 1480) with OnePlus Nord CE 6 processor (Snapdragon 6s Gen 4)

Yes then go to other company who's stopping you, samsung, i think you won't get so long updates under 20k in any company

Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

TonyStark0310 — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:47:04 GMT

What's the point of having such long updates when you don't have processor powerful enough to handle the update
And I am already using OnePlus Nord CE 6 as my primary device and it's way better than Samsung's

Samsung & apple has security and data privacy. Unlike chinese phones where all your data is sent to china govt.

Bro, It's not about privacy, it's about providing a value for money smartphone and software support, iPhones have way better privacy than Samsung and their prices justify their features, and also Apple provides longer software updates and support
Buy a Samsung for 60k and An iphone for 60k, you will be much more satisfied with iPhone the timely software support, the hardware specs everything justifies the price as compared to Samsung
Samsung flagships are indeed beasts but samsung should think about phones which they provide under 70k
Samsung's whole efforts are going to flagships and not even all the flagships

So your longer updates are stopping the war 😂
Jerk !! Think before giving such preposterous arguments

Re: UPDATE DELAY

samuser1 — Sat, 30 May 2026 03:53:53 GMT

Yes but samsung provides same privacy and security smartphones in every budget category... like from 10k-150k... aple is only for rich flagship caetogory.

None of these chinese smartphones are safe and secure... only apple and samsung are trustworthy for data privacy and security. As per chinese national security act 2017, chinese companies are compelled to give user data to chinese govt whenever they ask. And they cant go to court as in china there is no democracy. So only samsung and apple & google is only option for us..who care about our safety and security.

Yes it does, the longer the phone stays with you, the higher probability of War to end, and vice versa, shorter and faster updates leads to increased e waste and all other problems

Yes i agree with the iPhone factor, but if you say that privacy is not an issue, then give your bank accounts to China govt, lets see how many days your money remains, i myself is a victim of that

Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

TonyStark0310 — Sat, 30 May 2026 04:53:34 GMT

Who can offer better privacy than Apple itself
Everybody knows iPhones for privacy, Innovation and Software Update

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

TonyStark0310 — Sat, 30 May 2026 04:55:49 GMT

And if you get 7 long years of Update but your phone's processor can't keep up then also you are going to change your phone which will produce e-waste

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

Yes iPhone is best privacy, i absolutely agree with that, I am saying about Chinese phones, which are very risky to use, i once accidentally bought a vivo phone, and am a victim of loss of many data to China... iphones are way too expensive, so i don't want to being them into picture, what i want to say is lower end or midrange phones

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

jhuku — Sat, 30 May 2026 04:58:39 GMT

See those are rare cases with bad luck i am a samsung user for 20 years now just changing 2 phones... never saw an issue

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

TonyStark0310 — Sat, 30 May 2026 05:04:14 GMT

Yupp bro !! I agree we cannot rely on Chinese for our privacy but I want samsung to provide Phones with hardware that can justify the price, taking an Example of M35 which has same Exynos 1380 processor, Dual stereo speakers, 6000mAh battery, punch hole sAmoled Display while its successor M36 has same Exynos 1380 processor, Single speaker, 5000mAh, Notch sAmoled display
Is it an upgrade or a degrade
Samsung charges extra money for AI FEATURES which are available for m35 as well
And one more ridiculous thing AOD IS NOT AVAILABLE in Samsung M36, seriously How's that gonna save samsung millions ?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE DELAY

Yes that's fair, i have mailed samsung regarding that...
