I am delighted with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, and my Galaxy S21 ultra.
While some newer devices are marginally faster, none currently interest me with regard to additional features.
I respect your right to not continue OS and Security Updates by the terms of you're published promise at time of sale.
That said, it is obvious that continued support would be a negligible overhead, given how universal the hardware is.
But, again, I respect as a business, you're right to not continue to support them, regardless of how little effort it would take.
That said, if you choose to go this route, I believe it is your duty to make a not unlock available so that I can continue to use my hardware as I wish... There are excellent OS options that should be installable to keep these phones and tablets with perfectly usable hardware from being unsafe to use by being locked into old security.
Thank you for considering this
I intend to start a petition toward this.
And, like the EU mandated USB as a standard to help reduce water, I hope to enlist like minded regulators to support the move to unlock unsupported hardware.
Samsung devices with Snapdragon SOCs (i.e., devices sold in North America) do not have unlockable bootloaders, and it's extremely unlikely that Samsung will ever reverse this decision. Since this is a user-to-user support forum, it's also unlikely that anyone in Samsung leadership will see your post. Good luck with your petition.
Understood. They have every right not to support it. There's no reason just like USB was adopted instead of everybody having individualized connectors which was a nightmare to save stuff going into waste.
My phone and tablet have fantastic cameras processor speed memory then I see no reason to change.
There is a right to repair movement that is starting to take off. Whether it's people's tractors or cars or other items that manufactures are trying to lock down.
