Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

  • Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

  • The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

  • There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

I like the edge curve on my S9+ and Note 20U. Makes the bezels feel smaller and makes for a smoother swipe finger-feel.

But if I could trade that for removable battery/storage/repairability I would.

My only complaint about curved screens is that it makes it impossible to properly protect the screen, and offers ??? in exchange.

I've had screen protectors on all my edge-curved screens 🤷‍♂️

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

I said "properly".

Proper screen protection doesn't mean a 1mm thick reflective grease-magnet on top of the display. It means a case that provides several millimeters of much softer materials.

I guess I always use a case so for me it just feels like anothervpkace for dust to settle.
