You need android 15 and Samsung will only release android 15 when all other phones brand get android 16 maybe next year Samsung will release android 15 in 2026 Delays can make users feel like their devices are being neglected and that Samsung is prioritizing new phone sales over supporting existing customers. Competitive disadvantage: In a fast-moving market, being slow with updates can put Samsung at a disadvantage compared to manufacturers who offer quicker updates.
Your complaint is rooted in that Samsung isn't investing (if not the the leader in device AI). Your complaint is more rooted that you dont have the latest version yet.
Good luck getting have of these services with the latest Apple device.
If you prime directive is to get the latest Androud software, then go with pixel. Samsung will always be latent with respect to this, and base android is only the starting point to what they do with One UI.
This will never change. So if you don't value One UI benefits, then switch to pixel if that floats your boat.
Samsung is not they invest more in New devices they release s25 Galaxy F06 Samsung's Galaxy A56 5G and A36 will s24 doesn't have android 15 ui7 if you go on Google you will realize that more than 1 million customers are mad at Samsung https://www.androidauthority.com/one-ui-7-delay-poll-results-3489529/
Your own poll results in the link show that 58% of participants are good with waiting. Moreover, the 37% unhappy are 2500 samples, suggesting the poll size is roughly 8k. And these are people that actually engaged with android authority. The average base user(the large majority that doesnt ask about uodates every 2nd day) is largely fine to wait for the product.
There will always be a base of people that want to switch out of Samsung, Apple, Pixel etc.
This sells headlines.
If Pixel is that much greater, you'd think you'd see it in purchasing results
Samsung: Approximately 80.8% market share among Android devices. (start.io) • Motorola: Around 5.76% market share.(gs.statcounter.com) Xiaomi: Approximately 3.6% market share. (gs.statcounter.com) Google (Pixel devices): About 2.92% market share. (gs.statcounter.com)
Reddit is a bunch of hyperventilating kids that barely use the device potential, and often haven't done the work to compare actual features. Many of these posts also come from from newer accounts that I suspect are bots.
Moreover a lot of the journalists literally copy each other for headlines and laziness.
Do your own actual work and comparisons. I've watched countless reviews on youtube regarding S25U. Most of them are hot garbage. There are only a few that bother to deeply evaluate the full feature sets.
If you are settling on pixel based on the earliest possible android release, than I think you've found your match.
