Samsung cutting off upgrades to my 1 year old phone is why I switched to iPhone. I didn't want to mess with CyanogenMod on a phone I used for work. I'd prefer a phone with software and hardware that lasts 5 years instead of a phone with software that lasts 1 year and hardware lasts 10.
- rektide 5y agoMy S9 is well into year 4 & gets security updates. When it's done getting Samsung support I can install LineageOS. Im not aware of Samsung making any phones with 1 life support. I have a OnePlus6T that runs a mainline linux kernel. This will run forever.

- Spooky23 5y agoIt depends on the carrier.
- rektide 5y agomy s9 doesnt. my oneplus 6t doesnt. both are "customer provided equipement". the s9 still gets manufacturer updates. the oneplus will allegedly be supported by mainline linux for decades.
