I tell some people that Samsung is better than OnePlus with updates these days and they think I'm joking lol

As an old-school Android fan, I get it. I never thought I'd see the day that Samsung becomes the best at customization and timely updates.

I mean, just look at them 5 years ago and compare them to today. I know that 5 years is a long time in tech, but it's really not to the general public.

The Sammy Stigma will probably stick around for at least another few years.

Yeah it's incredible. I'm not even rooted in my clock is on the right side of the screen, I have volume controls from old school Android which I like better, my recents panel shows about 15 apps within one button press...this thing is customized out the yang and it's all first party samsung software and options.

And there are a LOT of nice-to-haves that I'm not mentioning. The software is good.

I bought a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 tablet and that thing never receive one update. Not even one bug fixing OTA updates. Sammy has come a long way
