David Carnoy of CNET:
The Samsung GS5 and earlier Galaxy smartphones had replaceable batteries and storage expansion slots. But the new Galaxy S6 says goodbye to that flexibility in favor of a sleeker design -- for better or worse.
A few weeks back, we reported that Samsung is not going to release the Android Oreo upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge seemed to be the oldest models to get the new software.
i think manufacturers should support flagships much longer than they do currently.
however, if they dont, the upside to having a flagship phone and community development.
if the manufacturer doesnt want to update the android, a custom rom will do it just fine.
It’s become increasing common to hear of Samsung’s mobile business struggling, but here’s some positive news — early signs around its newest devices suggest that the company might be returning to times of success.
With that pesky Galaxy S7 launch out of the way, carriers like Verizon can finally get back to focusing their energy on pushing out Marshmallow to the devices that really need it. You know, like last year’s Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
Am I the only one who see them borrowing the design of the Iphone a tad ??
