Samsung update rules
in February 2021 Samsung has changed software updates policy three to four years. Thus, devices released after the manufacturer’s announcement are eligible to receive up to four versions of Android.
The rule applies to premium smartphones of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series released from 2021.. Certain models of the mid-range Galaxy A are also eligible for four OS updates.
For example, the Galaxy S23 series, which debuted in early 2023, will receive Android updates until 2027. With this policy, Samsung has become the brand that offers the longest support time among Android devices.
