There are few things quite as emblematic of late stage capitalism than the concept of “planned obsolescence”.

    Actually in the Android community Sony helps you unlock your bootloader and offers official AOSP sources for their devices that you can compile and install yourself.

    I have no idea why people are enamored with Samsung.

      Ad campaigns, most likely. I always seem to see ads for Samsung phones, but not as often for Sony brand ones. I do agree Sony does a much better job about opening up the bootloader, versus Samsung punishing you for trying to open your own paid for device up.
