In the last couple of Samsung Galaxy generations I've experienced worse and worse delay for email notifications (battery usage optimizations I suppose) - I'm currently on S20 FE 5G.
I've followed most suggested tricks online for fixing GMail notifications on Samsung Galaxy without any luck. I even installed a third-party app, BlueMail, which initially gave timely notifications, but after a couple months' usage there's now a significant delay there as well (hours sometime).
I'm ready to give up on Samsung now to try something different (including Apple), but when I search online it seems users of other products sometimes also encounter the same problem? Does anyone know some smartphone/OS which does not have this problem (and ideally does not require tinkering with power saving settings to get timely email notifications in the standard Gmail app)?
Many thanks in advance!

If you’re looking for gmail, it’s up to google to handle pushing notifications. This should be happening through firebase, but it will be the same on any platform/OS. If they’re not pushing emails on arrival, you won’t see messages.
If you’re not using some sort of push notification, as with another app, you’ll have to use polling which means that you’ll only get new messages each time the app polls the server.
I guess I'd ask what is so important about instantaneous email notifications? Or rather is another technology better suited to what you are trying to do?
