๐Ÿšจ Attention Galaxy Community ๐Ÿšจ

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 donโ€™t, 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.

๐Ÿ’ก What 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 ๐Ÿ‘ 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

Well, they should invest more in software development since hardware doesn't evolve much over the years.
