Samsung was the leader. Google had to respond after years of being behind someone that doesn't even work directly on the OS. Doesn't stop Samsung being a leader if they change and go even farther.

That literally doesn't make any sense. When Samsung announced it was going to 5 years it didn't update all the stuff in the past. It's a new thing starting with the new devices. They might give a little extension to devices still getting updates, but devices that already stopped getting updates are likely to have been upgraded from already and possibly harder to continue supporting.

The front panel is finally flat.

"which is why most PoS devices don't support swipe anymore"

huh?

This would absolutely be enough to upgrade, barring some stupid sacrifice like the battery now being half the size or something.

Especially for the only model in their lineup you use with a pen. Can't begin to tell you how often lines at the edge of the screen get fucked by the curve.

Definitely a failure on Microsoft's part that will make anyone wary of trying the inevitable foldable and slab phones they'll release. You don't have to declare a Duo 3 is coming or anything right now, but you have to say that you're supporting the device that came out less than 2 years ago.

It's so weird that Continuum mode didn't make it, but the Lenovo ThinkPhone seems to be getting it.

Finally. This is my favorite side effect of the advent of foldables - more people seeing the big tablet landscape mode of apps, and thus the fact that so many apps are incompatible coming to light.
