The only good thing about most Android phones is that you can install a different version of Android devoid of all things Google and get an interface that isn't Samsung. That's my plan when this subscription crap comes around or the phones are too expensive that I can't afford them anymore. I'm too tied into Apple's ecosystem with mail, iCloud, and Music.
Also, buy some other brand that's cheaper because Samsung makes garbage and don't support their hardware unless they're flagship. Admittedly, it's been almost a decade since I've had anything but an iPhone, but I had a couple Samsung Android phones were an update broke the phone and Samsung wouldn't release a fix because it was an update from Google. One in particular was a Samsung Moment on Sprint where it would enter into airplane mode silently and still look like it was connected to services until you went to use said services. They refused to provide an update to resolve the issue.
Samsung has had 7 (5 of updates and 2 security support) years support por flagships and 5 years (4 updates, 1 security) for the A series for over 5 years now. They've had their hiccups with updates, but so have all phone manufacturers.
That's good to hear, because back then that wasn't the case. I know no matter what model iPhone I get, if it's new then support is the same for every model from that year.
