Samsung Galaxy devices eligible for 7 years of Android upgrades [List]
Samsung is committing 7 years of Android upgrades to select Galaxy devices. The newly launched Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are guaranteed for longer software support. It’s the same upgrade policy that Samsung brought to the S24 series.
The company is significantly increasing the longevity of its flagship phones. Now, consumers can keep their Galaxy for at least 7 years. Samsung will take care of the device owners from the software side, providing new features and security enhancements.
The Korean tech giant is also refining its hardware spare parts availability. Spare parts will be made available for years so you can get your Galaxy repaired if required. It’s a great approach to reducing e-waste and helping consumers make even longer utilization of their spent money.
Samsung Galaxy devices that are eligible for 7 years of Android upgrades:
- Galaxy Z Flip 6
- Galaxy Z Fold 6
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24 Plus
- Galaxy S24
All of the devices come with Android 14 pre-installed. This means the last major upgrade for the above-listed phones would be Android 21. Besides, Samsung will continue to release regular security updates and feature drop updates until 2031.
The new software plan had not been expanded to older lineups like before. Still, the Galaxy S23 series as well as Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are eligible for 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches. It’s uncertain but Samsung could provide an additional OS upgrade to some devices.
Samsung’s software strategy is inspired by Google’s support for Pixel phones. The company’s affordable Pixel 8a handset is also supported by a 7-year update plan. Therefore, we guess that the Galaxy S24 FE might join the 2024 flagships with Samsung’s top-notch software plan.
In addition, the Korean tech giant may also expand the update support to the next-gen flagship tablet lineup. The Galaxy Tab S10 series could launch this year, which might also be supported by seven years of OS and regular software updates plan.
