OnePlus challenges Samsung with 4 OS updates for all flagships!
Surprisingly, OnePlus comes up to challenge Samsung’s after-sales OS and security updates dominance. At an OxygenOS Open Ears Forum in London, OnePlus confirmed (via 9to5Google) that “selected devices launched in 2023” will now get 4 OS updates and five years of “regular” security patches.
This sounds exactly the same Samsung is currently offering to all of its premium and select mid-range Galaxy devices released in 2021 onwards. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the Chinese phone maker revealed that the team behind OxygenOS is already working on future updates; OxygenOS 13.1 and 14.

Up from Google, Samsung, earlier this year, announced that flagship Galaxy devices launched in and after 2021 will be eligible for up to 4 major One UI updates and up to five years of regular security patches. OnePlus appears to be doing the same as its upcoming OnePlus 11 is likely to initiate the new 4 OS updates policy.

With expanding Android and security updates lifespan, OnePlus is trying to lessen its consumers’ frustrations amid buggy and delayed updates and the cancellation of the “unified platform” with Oppo’s ColorOS. The company now appears to be preparing to bring advancements to its own software department.
Statement:
“As a user-oriented company, we do everything we can to enhance user experience. With more users keeping their devices for longer, we want to make sure we can offer that possibility. This new update policy will give users access to the latest security and functional features required to power OnePlus’ signature fast-and-smooth experience throughout the lifetime of the phone.”
At present, OnePlus offers bimonthly security updates to all eligible devices, which may turn to “regular/monthly” patches in near future. When asked, Chen confirmed that a bimonthly update cadence will still be adhered to when pushing monthly security patches to OnePlus devices.
Well, Samsung is still ahead of OnePlus as the former OEM joined one year older flagship lineup in the new policy, while the latter is making announcements for products that will launch next year. As of now, there’s nothing good news for flagship phones that OnePlus sold in the past including the OnePlus 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Samsung’s premium wireless earbuds making a comeback this year. Last year, the company didn’t launch premium earbuds, but brought the first pair of FE-branded Galaxy Buds. Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in the next Unpacked, which features a 500mAh battery case.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro case packs a 500mAh battery, first spotted by 91mobiles. The Buds 2 Pro also brings a charging case with a 500mAh battery. Apart from TUV certification, the product has also surfaced on India’s BIS certification site, confirming its imminent debut.
In particular, the upcoming Galaxy earbuds are listed with the model number EB-BR630ABY on TUV and BIS. Each earbud of the Galaxy Buds 2 features a 58mAh battery and Samsung might ship the Buds 3, at least, with the same battery capacity.

Samsung launched a new 50W charging adapter (EP-T5020) with dual ports. The product is available in select European countries and we hope the company will soon bring it to more markets. As there’s no phone capable of charging over 45W speed, the 50W adapter is still worth buying.
The New Samsung 50W adapter brings dual ports, allowing users to charge two Galaxy phones at 25W simultaneously. When both ports are used, the adapter will distribute 25W each, making it easier to get two Galaxy devices charged at the same time.
To get 50W speed (USD PD PPS protocol), you need to use the first port, usable to charge Galaxy Book laptops. For additional convenience, the secondary port is capped at 25W charging speed. This means you are not required to charge two devices to get 25W output.
Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, and M55 5G are some Samsung devices that support 45W fast charging. Most Galaxy phones and tablets have 25W charging support, which is not much less than Samsung’s 45W brick.
While the availability is limited, the 50W brick can be owned for €69.90. Meanwhile, Samsung also sells 65W triple-port EP-T6530, which you can buy for Galaxy Book laptops. Future Galaxy flagships should bring even more faster charging tech, it’s a long-standing demand.
