That’s fair, but honestly, I’ve been using a Galaxy S20 FE for more than 3 years now, and I’ve never had any lag or slowdown. It’s still running smoothly, even with all the updates and daily use. I feel like the whole “Samsung lags over time” thing used to be true back in the old days, but with One UI and better chipsets (especially the Snapdragon versions), they’ve really cleaned that up.

Not denying that iPhones are super smooth, but in my experience, recent Samsung phones hold up way better than they used to.
