Oh my
One UI 8.5 is finally starting to roll out to some older Samsung phones.
It does not fully update to flagship S26's features. It cannot. S26 has different hardware. Therefore it is not a full UI update. And it is very late, coming up on the impending next Android release date. Worse, the
next Samsung UI update is already looking as bleak.

Promises broken, updates are late and incomplete. Not very different
from past attempts to update Android phones made by other companies.
Prediction: in 6 years many older Samsung phones promised 7 OS updates
will either never receive them, or if they do they will be only
superficial and late.
Apple will remain the leader in long term support. Apple is today the
only vertically integrated company built to offer that long term
support. That may change in seven years, but at this time it's not
obvious how that will happen.

I'm sure that the resident Android advocate will paint this as a win.
After all, the old hardware did indeed get an update, no matter how
broken and painful it is. For them, pyrrhic victories are victories still.

shit coward troll boy who is only looking for attention.-a Which is what
all trolls are doing.-a Looking at threads that prove he/she/it wrong -
and where he/she/it could actually learn something - is not why he/she/
it is here.
He/she/it only replies to the threads he/she/it starts.-a And even there, he/she/it does not acknowledge evidence that he/she/it is wrong.
Which begs he question, why is anyone still replying to this chicken

That's right, we are on an AMA Waterways river cruise about to return to Bordeaux. After that we fly to Nice, take a bus to tiny quaint Eza, then
fly to Paris. Going to Paris only to see Notre Dame de Paris after the restoration. Then home on May 21. The ship, AmaDolce, has 24/7 wifi.
Before breakfast here on the ship I updated the OS on 2 phones, 2
tablets, 2 watches and a MacBook.

It certainly seems that way, as I've noticed pretty regular trolls from Tommy on the LinkedIn subject.
Hardly surprising, though, as he's got an insecurity-based need for attention.-a Thus why he's copied things like my EU river cruises, etc.
BTW, I've not shared the video I mentioned to you; still haven't gotten
back to giving it good workup, though ... been diverted by an equipment failure which cropped up last week; I've just gotten it boxed up and
mailed out ($50! yikes!) to Ikelite for repair this afternoon.

Nothing says "obsessed stalker" quite so well!
LoL. A little honesty from you would go a long way.
What did I say that was dishonest?
You admitted to checking my LinkedIn with regularity, Liarboy.
Occasionally. And it is a pubic site. Don't like that, you can
change it.
I don't care about it.
But do you need me to quote you?
"I have checked in on LinkedIn every few months"
"EVERY few months"
Do you set a reminder?
LOL!
It certainly seems that way, as I've noticed pretty regular trolls
from Tommy on the LinkedIn subject.
Hardly surprising, though, as he's got an insecurity-based need for
attention.-a Thus why he's copied things like my EU river cruises, etc.
BTW, I've not shared the video I mentioned to you; still haven't
gotten back to giving it good workup, though ... been diverted by an
equipment failure which cropped up last week; I've just gotten it
boxed up and mailed out ($50! yikes!) to Ikelite for repair this
afternoon.
Arggh! So is that putting a cramp in your underwater photography, then?
No, turnaround is pretty quick so it will be back before my next trip,
which is ... oh, wait, posting that would be a lame "Tommy" move.

Glad it's not a major impediment.
