Samsung escapes obligation to keep old phones patched

Windows?

I'm not sure why Samsung should be singled out.

Personally, I think when you are buying new, the manufacture should be forced to produce an update policy, not suggesting hundreds of words burried within T&C's, but simple statements such as "Full OS updates until Jan2019, extended support until Jan2020". This should be headline information.

Hopefully this would also discourage bloatware, closer to a vanilla android experience, to make updating easier.

The transition away from Windows XP would have been fine if when the hardware was purchased we were told support would finish April 2014.

My UAE Samsung Note8 has been updated monthly. This would be a selling point expect, BUT I don't know what the competitors are doing so I cannot make a decision based on this information.
