Samsung Software Updates – Loyal Fan, Frustrated User

I’ve been a Samsung fan for years, still am in many ways. But let’s be real...when it comes to software updates, Samsung seriously lags behind. It’s not a one time thing… it’s every single time!

Other brands roll out updates smoothly and Samsung users are just left waiting...and waiting! Even as beta testers, we got Beta 1 late and it came full of bugs. Now Beta 2 feels like it’s taking forever. Forget Beta 3, 4 or stable...at this pace, it’s a long road.

Last year was the same story. We were among the last to get Android updates, while brands like OnePlus were ahead by 4 months. That’s honestly disappointing for a company of this scale.

I’m deep into the Samsung ecosystem which is the only reason I’m still here. But trust? That’s been fading for a while now. I’ve already started leaning toward Pixel and this S23 might be my last Samsung device. Once it’s done... I’m out! No upgrades, no repairs! 👍

I hope that Samsung will prioritize the software experience as much as the hardware for its new users in the future. I will be leaving shortly 👍
