    The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and dichotomous depiction. The author mentions that the update has already begun in Korea and is likely to hit other territories shortly, implying that this information comes from a reliable source. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as the author does not provide any evidence or citation for this claim. Additionally, the author states that 'Samsung might draw that line at its mid-range phones' and 'we could end up with two tiers of Samsung devices: the haves and have-nots', which is a dichotomous depiction as it oversimplifies the situation by presenting only two options. No other fallacies were found.
    • The rollout has already begun in Korea and it will likely hit other territories shortly, with India expected to be next on the list according to Vats.
    • Samsung might draw that line at its mid-range phones, like the recently released A55 and A35 handsets.
