7 Years of Android Updates. Can Google & Samsung Really Deliver?

I’ve been thinking about Google and Samsung’s promise to support their latest phones for 7 years. On paper, it sounds great, but will the updates actually be useful, or will they just slow down devices like some claim Apple does?

Most Android brands like OnePlus and Xiaomi barely offer 3-4 years, so this is a huge step. But will they actually keep it up long-term?...

A complete no body's take on switching from iOS to S25 Ultra

Just saw a LTT video and thought I could jot down my every man's experience after a week. I've gone all in to the Google ecosystem from when I had android way way back but switched to iOS for the family and friends. Switched back for ME lol. I love the phone btw, everything except the listed stuff below.

- I miss apple wallet. I don't fly anywhere or need a digital ID but I DO go to the movies often with my kids. It was surprising to me that Google Wallet or Samsung wallet doesn't have a Ticket...

Finally, an Android app for Apple TV+, but ....

So for those of you like me who have only sipped a bit of the Kool Aid, Apple TV+ finally has an Android app. This is good because, although we have a subnoscription, the only way I could use it until now was through the Rogers TV app. It's a pain to navigate through and even with a large TV, I have trouble using it.

Unfortunately, Apple have not seen fit to add cast capability, which means I still have to use the TV app to play shows or movies, but at least I can easily browse through Apple TV+...
