Big Galaxy S24 leak reveals Samsung's strategy against Google's Pixel phone
androidcentral.com
Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:
Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.
The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.
There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

Yeah, my S22 Ultra was carrier unlocked but the bootloader was not unlockable.
Strange, never seen such threads on xda. Could you provide screenshots of developer options around "Demo mode" setting?
Look for SM-S908U1 specifically. There are a few threads (like this one), but I think most US XDA users were just implicitly aware of how Samsung operated in the US. This was my first device from them and I was caught unawares.
I'm back on Pixel now.
