Samsung has announced that it will now provide up to four years of security updates to the Galaxy smartphones that have been launched after 2019.
This comes after the South Korean major announced three years of Android updates for its Galaxy smartphones last year, which was also extra considering the two-year update cycle followed previously. Read on to know more about it and see what all devices are included for this.
Samsung phones will now get 4 years of security updates
Samsung will now provide monthly and quarterly updates to the Galaxy phones, giving users an extended layer of security. The deal is applicable for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy A, Galaxy M, Galaxy Z, and Galaxy XCover smartphone series. It is also for the Galaxy Tab tablet lineup.
This now totals up to three major Android updates and four security updates for the present and future Samsung devices.
The new update comes across as good news as Samsung wasn’t the best when it came to updating its devices. The company used to take a while before updating the Galaxy smartphones. However, this changed recently and Samsung became one of the companies after Google to provide faster updates to its smartphones, thus, pleasing people.
This was even reflected in how quickly even the Samsung mid-rangers and budget phones now get the latest Android version with Samsung One UI on top of it.
