With brands competing on the latest specifications and bigger numbers often being key differentiators between devices and brands, Samsung has taken a step to improve an aspect that many brands often turn a blind eye to – long-term software support.
The Korean tech giant has announced that it will be extending software security support for its smartphones launched in 2019 and after. These phones will now receive four years of security updates. The supported phones include devices from Samsung’s Flagship S, Z and Fold series, as well as the Note series, the A-series, M-series and some other devices. Note that these are security updates and not Android OS updates. Hence, while you won’t get the next four Android versions on your phone, four years of security patches is still a significant factor that will help keep your device safer for longer usage. However, note that the frequency of updates for all the supported phones may not be the same. While some may get monthly security patch updates, other devices may get a quarterly update schedule.

The commitment covered flagships as well as models sitting lower in the product line like the A and M series. Now the company has decided to differentiate its flagship models by adding an extra year to their life cycles. This means that the newly announced Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 models will receive 4 new generations of Android OS and security patches for of 5 years. Since they start with Android 12, they should go up to Android 16 and receive their final patch in 2027. There is good news for owners of a 2021 Samsung flagship – the same software support schedule applies to them too, meaning they will get one more OS update and an extra year of patches than originally planned. This includes the Z3 foldables, as well as the S21 series flagships (including the S21 FE). The Galaxy S20 series and older foldables remain on the 4-year schedule, however.
