Anyone who can push updates to your phone can get full control of it any time they want, this should be fairly obvious.

  Updates should require user consent before they are installed. Otherwise it does indeed qualify as a backdoor.

    Currently, Samsung will force update your device if you do not accept the first few nag pop-ups.

      That's new to me. I own several Samsung phones of different generations (Android app development does that to people) and while the update pop-ups are annoying, I could always put off the installation indefinitely.

      I have an S21 Ultra 5G and I can skip the update for months if I want to. They don't force any updates at all, not even the security ones.
