Google to Samsung: Stop messing with Linux kernel code. It's hurting Android

Hey, I have a completely functional, regularly used Samsung Galaxy S5 (IMO the last good phone Samsung made, and I currently run an S9 as my daily phone, and my partner has an S10).

Anecdata is weird when it comes to mobile devices. It seems that some phones are really not created equal to others in the same production run. I presume it's sort of like processor binning, but not actually tested in the factory. Every now and then a customer gets a phone that performs perfectly, and the battery lasts for over a decade (obviously with recharging!) ;-)

I agree on personal experience varies wildly.

I also bought an iphone 7 three years ago and it was working fine with 85% battery life, before I broke the screen and replaced it.

Before phone, I was using Samsung phones exclusively, S4, Note 4 etc, they all died within two years.
