I absolutely agree that the US carriers slow down releases, and make them worse at the same time. But something I didn’t see mentioned here is that Samsung releases updates for different models at different times. For example the S23 series gets updated first, followed by 5 series foldables and the S22 series, then the 4 series foldables and s21 series etc. and this is all looking strictly at unlocked models with no carrier interference.
I understand carriers getting in the way, but I think it’s fair to question why Samsung models have a tiered rollout compared to Apple updating all models at the same time.
