Apple is updating their 5s, which is like 5 years old. They're also updating iPhone 6 and making it actually faster, like 40% in some cases.
Certainly Samsung can do same. Give S6 android 8.0, remove non essential items, and make it faster!
Honestly we pay so much for Samsung devices. $1000 for S8 vs iPhone 8, but Apple has so much better support (updates, phone or call), service (many stores, same hour replacement and cheap warranties $29 fix), Samsung should be above and push android 8.0 to a 3 year old smartphone.
I don't own S6, but in I don't want my S9 to be outdated in 3 years from now. I've S7 and A7 and it's bad that this year is their last update. The A7 basically gets one update, since it came out with outdated OS (nougat, when Oreo was out for long).
Edit: I also want to add that many people get phones year after release. We're still getting deals on s8. It's unfortunate that these people will only get update for 1 year. So yes, make 3 year OS updates and 4 year security update. We can't afford to throw away phones after 3 years!!! I tend to give away phone afterwards, so it's sad the phone is useless for people who need security update.
Edit 2: I'm talking about S6 getting Oreo, not s4 getting android p. Let's start talking about updating 3 year old phone first and then 4 or 5 year old.
