    Wait till the EU battery replacement law kicks in. Kind of no need to upgrade then unless you crack the screen.

    Difference between my Samsung s9+ and Samsung s21 is minimal.

      I really feel like the new rule regarding batteries will mean manufacturers locking down the bootloader.

      They are already terrible with software updates, but you can get by with custom ROMs. The official software also usually is got background services that are designed to limit performance.

      Bur if they lock the bootloader… Your battery could be great, but all your apps could stop working because your OS is outdated.

        Planned obsolescence should really be illegal. No matter what form it takes
