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 assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

      There’s really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

      • The edge panel (ended up using Panels
      • A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
        • I’ve gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it’s handled in OneUI
