If
you use Samsung’s smartphones or tablets, you will appreciate this news.
Samsung
has announced that it will provide a minimum of 4 years of security updates for
Galaxy smartphones and tablets from 2019 to date.
Previously,
Samsung provided security updates to a device on a monthly or quarterly basis
for the first two years.
Monthly
updates are provided for flagship phones such as the Galaxy Note or Galaxy S
series, while budget phones are provided with a security update once every 3
months.
Note
that Samsung has now promised to provide security updates for 4 years but did
not say whether this will happen monthly or the phone will be updated every 3
months.
But
the new announcement suggests that Samsung is extending the life of its Galaxy
phones, which can now be used for up to 4 years without any worries.
Support
for Samsung’s cheap entry-level phones usually lasts that long.
And
yes, under this announcement, security updates should be provided, not Android
operating system updates.
However,
in 2020, Samsung announced that it would provide an Android operating system
updates for at least 3 years.
