Samsung might copy Google and increase update support to seven years starting with the Galaxy S24 series, according to reliable sources this weekend. Further promo images have also been leaked, advertising some camera and AI features, whereas the latter might cost extra down the road.

Outside of AI, 7 Years of updates sounds awesome. It would be a welcome change matching Google in updates. Other manufacturers should take note or be left in the dust.

    I’m tempted by the S24 just because it’s smaller, bit I’ve gotten so used to the special features on my Pixel phones…

      Such as? Aside from flashing roms (admittedly very big) what benefits do you find over a Samsung?

            A lot of them were things that I had actually forgotten were Pixel-exclusive, until I looked at a list

              That’s happened to me with Samsung. So many times I’ve seen an article about something coming to android that I’ve already had and assumed was stock.

    As with everything Samsung tends to do I’ll bet the AI stuff is half baked.

    AI subscription is definitely something I’m looking forward to, gotta be my next phone 100% just because of that! Edit: didn’t think that /s was really that necessary

      Until you realize that their implementation of AI, whatever that means, in their case is mediocre, and nothing more than a marketing term.

      Why is this down voted lol they’re completely right.

      Note for Samsung users, change your keyboard back to Samsung keyboard for a second and check the clipboard. That’s right! It saves everything you’ve copied, regardless of if it was the active keyboard.
