A series, s20 series, etc not provided maintenance mode? That's a shame! It is such a useful addition and much needed for all users, especially because Samsung phones these days are having a lot of issues, forcing a service center visit now and then. 

Also, we should consider the fact that whenever we go for under-warranty services they will factory reset the device citing some policy (at least that's what the service center in our city told me).

Considering all this, the maintenance mode would've been a blessing to all Samsung users. It doesn't make any sense to limit this feature only to a few flagship devices! Come on Samsung, learn good things from Chinese OEMs like Xiaomi where a 300-dollar phone and 1000 dollar phone will have the same software features. I mean you were so quick to adopt the Ad - revenue strategy(for budget phones) and degradation of old devices strategy(to make new devices look good) from them. Learn good things too, especially when Samsung is still charging a premium for the brand name.

I hope much needed utility and convenience features like the maintenance mode will be provided to ALL users regardless of the price bracket.

Ya man, this is wrong! No one would like to risk their data by giving it to third party service center without factory resetting device! And frankly speaking factory reset is not ez. Ya, I agree you can backup stuff. But, I don't think it's convenient. I wanted to factory reset my device. It took around 1 hr to backup stuff. Waste of time! The maintenance mode SHOULD be provided to all devices irrespective of their price. Atleast the ones getting Android 13.

🔴 Fun fact
Maintenance mode is skipped

still no Google discover on left swipe instead some **bleep** FREE is there

Ads exist in Game launcher

Next Nov patch is only security update. Not the UI fix update that s22 has

Out off this BEST EPIC EVERYTHING entire changelog is of Andorid 12 and still I can see many users are asking about it

We I had a call with L2 support desk the agents are so clue less she is telling its BETA 😀 where s20 series never had beta in INDIA

She is telling it will get chnaged in Dec

I agree with you. I expected that this feature will roll out to all the new upcoming devices and in android 13. Because of this post, I checked my s20 fe 4g and nope, the feature is absent.
