Big Galaxy S24 leak reveals Samsung's strategy against Google's Pixel phone (www.androidcentral.com)

Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

I'll be leaving the Samsung ecosystem after 10 years. They simply don't offer a phone for me anymore. I WANT an SD card, and waterproofing. And the A line camera is too shite.

I'll probably get some Chinese phone next and give them a shot. Samsung can get fucked with the 1000$ phones that continuously remove features.

Which Chinese phone does that? They were the first to copy Apple when they removed all that. The only ones that still have card slots and headphone jacks are all the low-end phones, and heck, even those are going away. Xiaomi has been removing the card slots on the higher-end Redmi Notes.

I think Sony and Asus still have phones with that stuff and a headphone jack

Why not try a Pixel then? I'm on the S22 Ultra and already thinking of giving pixel a go on my next upgrade. They touted 4 years of support for this model but if they increase to 7 then I'll just need to wait and see what's out there at that time.
