2019 Galaxy devices and all that came after will be eligible for four years of security updates.
Samsung, which is the top Android OEM, has bucked that trend by providing three years of security updates for its Galaxy devices. But today, the company announced that it is tacking on another year of support for devices that have been released since 2019. That means that going forward,2019 Galaxy devices and all that came after will be eligible for four years of security updates. To get an idea of how much of a big deal this is, even Google only provides three years of guaranteed Android OS and security updates for its first-party Pixel smartphones. “Mobile devices play such an important role in our lives, it’s only natural that we want to hold onto them longer,“ said Seungwon Shin, Samsung Electronics VP, and Security Team Chief.
