Yeah this is disheartening. Depending on where you live this comes out to ~€600 per year of up-to-date phone. For many that’ll be acceptable, but it’s ridiculous to think about, considering my Fairphone 4, if I use it just to the end of full support coverage, will cost me ~€100 a year. And that is already high IMO.
Thats 50€ a month, its ridiculous and a punch on the mouth for those who supported the product in such an early stage.
As a comparison, I am using an S20FE 5G which I got for 300€ two years ago. Thats 12,50 per month and it still gets updates. Sure thats no high end phone, but I dont miss anything, fast OLED screen, 500GB storage through sd card, blazing fast, good camera.
It’s shameful for Samsung, but I doubt many of the owners are hugely inconvenienced by this, it was always a toy for early adopters with disposable income.
