As a long-time Galaxy user, I want to share some concerns many of us feel:
The S23, S24, and S25 run different kernel versions (5.15, 6.1, 6.6) despite all having long-term support, raising issues with optimization, efficiency, and transparency.
With the S26, some new AI features may not reach older devices like the S24 or S25, even though their hardware can handle them.
For cameras, sensors like the 200MP used since the S22 get improvements in newer models, but older devices often donโt, giving the impression of artificial limitations.
While One UI 8.5 beta feels stable and polished, major updates are delayed, seemingly tied to new launches, affecting user trust.
๐กWhat we need:
Transparency in kernel and system updates
Fair access to new features, especially AI
Meaningful long-term performance improvements
Consistent updates independent of new launches
If you agree that Samsung should be fair and transparent with its users, hit like ๐ and share your thoughts!
Not sure about kernal issue but the 200mp camera tends to be on ultra the ui updates tend to be in beta longer past few personally I would rather wait for a reliable version than a buggy one
Samsung products are great... Their business practices are despicable. They treat customers like idiots. Software feature gating on upgrades when everybody knows the hardware can support it. Just to get you to upgrade to a device. Apple doesn't do it, Google doesn't do it. After decades with Samsung I'm finally done. My Galaxy full six cost $1,300... They're blocking AI features and ignoring their commitment to upgrades. Whoever is making these decisions should be fired on the spot.
