I have a question about the 7 years of OS updates. Now that Android 15 will not be released until 2025, does this mean we will now only get 6 OS updates with it being delayed?

One wonders if this was purposely done to save money?

The S24 was released with Android 14 and the S25 will be released with Android 15. They'll stop getting updates 7 years after.

I suspect that after even 'just' 6 years, your phone battery and other hardware will be so outdated that you'll be eager to get a new one anyway.
I imagine after 3 years or so, you'll avoid updates to not have to endure the increased software overhead of added features.

@officialguy Yes, I get that. I personally am a SERIAL UPGRADER. 

BTW You do that batteries are replaceable? That one is a moot point.

My point is by releasing Android 15 in 2025 it means one less OS update for those that hang on to their phones forever.

OS updates are not measured by years, it's by Generations, but Security is measured by years
