It's a shame, that Samsung doesn't offer any more Android version updates, on a device which, from a hardware perspective, is clearly capable of running Android 12 and likely Android 13 or more.

For the Exynos variant of this device, it is not a problem, as the Exynos variant has an Unlocked Bootloader, and there's likely to be plenty of Custom Roms available.

Just one of the benefits of Custom Roms, is that Developers, can keep these solid devices running on the latest Android versions.

It's only "planned obsolescence" by the OEMs, but it shouldn't be.

For Snapdragon devices, with a locked Bootloader, once Samsung no longer offers Android version updates, let the owners unlock the Bootloader, so they can Flash Custom Roms.

Just a thought.

I totally agree, if some developers can do it, so Samsung is totally capable to, especially on premium models, which have better processors, and we see it today, samsung phones now support up to 4 major upgrades
