Hello.
I beg your pardon for the title. The topic does not really have a clear question. I'm looking for advise or opinion on what to do.
Issue:
I own a Smartphone SAMSUNG A52s 5G // SM-A528B/DS
It seems Samsung has given up on updates. It seems this device only get every 3 months updates. This will most likely end around october 2025. I just checked for software updates. Security Patch level 1.Janaury 2025.
My kinda new SAMSUNG tablet bought form amazon Spain also sometimes only get updates. SAMSUNG Galaxy TAB A9+ / SM-X210 - 8GiB DRAM Version - 128GB Flash Storage Version
Past 8 months it seems the tablet or the phone or both devices are months behind for updates.
I bought Samsung because I repaired lots of Xcover 4 / 4s and a few other smartphones myself. Partly because of the part availability and part costs.
I do not want to see old security updates on my android devices.
I did not root or flash another rom because the Smartphone was bought with 30 months amazon.de warranty. purchase 25.may.2022 + 30 months warranty.
My smartphone career started with the nexus 4. I flashed a custom rom on my older SAMSUNG SM-T580 tablet a few days ago. So my father can play some card games. I do know about TWRP and custom Roms.
the main reason why my devices should have qualcom processors

I do know how to use ADB, TWRP, Custom Rom.
I had to debloat SAMSUNG A52s 5G // SM-A528B/DS and SAMSUNG Galaxy TAB A9+ / SM-X210 with adb and the pm (i think it was the pm command for the package manager).
Most stuff was not uninstallable. Some stuff was only an option to deactivate.

I think it's soon time to go for Custom Roms for my Smartphone SAMSUNG A52s 5G // SM-A528B/DS
I have planned to search for TWRP and such around May / June / July / August 2025.
edit: It would be nice to get information regarding root / regarding adblocker + browser suggestion. As the warranty is over and it seems the updates are also gone from Samsung I'm forced anyway to screw again with the phone.

- Any hassle free suggestions for Custom Roms for my Smartphone SAMSUNG A52s 5G // SM-A528B/DS? Feel free to add your thoughts / experience ...
- Do people just buy new smartphones when they do not get any security updates? It annoys me - Samsung Smartphones seems to have now 6 years Software updates.
