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.

Take something like GrapheneOS if security is important for you:

  1. No bloatware
  2. 7 years of updates on the new pixel phones with it
  3. Much more secure than an iPhone
  4. An iPhone isn't really privacy respecting or similar even though Apple always claims it to be
  5. An iPhone locks you in. Heck you can't even let Nextcloud or Immich sync files in the background on iOS just because Apple says "no background sync only works good with our own services so you give us your money and use iCloud Photos and Drive".

I need to use commercial chat apps for work on my phone. I’m concerned they will not work on GrapheneOS.

When it comes to my work, privacy has to come second, so I’m just sticking with the main operating systems.

Which ones? Haven't experienced any app that doesn't work with GrapheneOS. Even my banking apps work. Only thing that doesn't work is Google Pay.

I guess the bigger point is that even if my apps work now, they are so important to my business that if they stopped working then I immediately would not be able to do my work until I got a new phone.

I rely on specific chat apps so heavily to communicate with clients.
