It’s pretty normal for Android manufacturers to be well behind on updates. There are really only a handful that are actually reliable, the rest are pretty bad. Feature updates seem to matter less and less these days, though. You can go back several versions and not really notice any difference.
For example, If I copied something in the clipboard, every time I opened any app, a window popped up to ask if I allow the app to access Clipboard.
An annoying “-1” screen when I swiped the home screen to the left (mostly accidentally). It shows all kind of shit I didn’t care for like news, stock, weather, pictures. I have separate app for that when I needed it.
They have it set where you have to grant permissions to any new app requesting said permission. This is literally something the user has done to themselves that (most) others are actually thankful to have such a feature lol.

Samsung managed to get a workflow rolling where the lag is relatively short. Basically Pixel owners are treated as beta testers and three or so months later Samsung owners get the upgrade.

Also most of the “new features” are just useless or annoying.
Which features do you find annoying?

That’s just a few.
That sounds like a great security feature!
I’m on android 14 (realmeUI) and do not get any noification asking for confirmation before allowing the app to read or paste clipboard data.

Yes

Yeah Samsung is pretty good, one of the “handful” I was referring to. They are consistent and fulfil their promises.
