Samsung promised you 4 android update and they've delivered that albeit the delay. They never promised it'd be a timely update anyway. 12, 13 and 14 arrived early, so because 15 didn't, they MUST add extra? Don't get me wrong, the update should have taken that long and I wouldn't mind extra android version update, but that your logic wasn't sound.

I have this S21+ for over 4 years now. I dropped it countless times. The max that ever happened was to break the screen protector once. Replaced it, not a single scratch in the phone. I use the thinnest possible cover (Nillkin). It is definitely a very resistant phone. I will only migrate from this fone to another S series. I hate Samsung for TVs, but for phoens I am pretty sure it's the best brand and series.

Bad GPU is less likely, and display connector too, but battery life degrades overtime, and it depends if you charge it till 100% or till 80-90%, as if charging till 100% you get more battery but it will degrade more. It all depends if you want a new phone or not. You're welcome for the help, I'm a phone geek

                                  Honestly, you should pick the A55 because it's newer.

                                    Which one do you recommend? S21 Plus or the Galaxy A55. Pricing of both phones in my country is almost the same.

                                      Which should I go for? Galaxy A55 or S21 Plus? Pricing is not an issue because they have almost the same price in my country.
