Deal Breakers

Software update commitment of 4 years OS + 5 years security still trails Samsung and Google's 7-year promises
No IP69 rating — while IP65 provides splash resistance, it falls short of Samsung and Apple's full submersion ratings
Limited carrier support and band compatibility in some markets compared to Samsung and Apple
