I was just going through the frequency of security updates from other manufacturers and it was shocking that other manufacturers which have been know for lack of software support is actually doing better than SAMSUNG!!!.

I have been Galaxy devices right from my childhood it's chilling that samsung is the only manufacturer in the midrange segment that provides 5 Years of security updates and 4os upgrades. 

But there is one fact that actually changed my perception on samsung is that there are other brands out there which provide bi monthly security updates even for midrangers regarded of considering that whether is it a Midranger or a flagship.
The point here is that Samsung must revise it's policy and provide more frequent security updates.

Samsung is dedicated to offering the best experience across its wide range of devices, including the Galaxy A, M, S, Z, and Note series, as well as tablets and other products.

With so many devices, each update requires careful testing to ensure everything works smoothly. Providing monthly updates for all devices could compromise the quality our customers expect.

Instead, Samsung focuses on delivering reliable, well-tested updates that ensure performance and security. While not every device gets monthly updates, we are committed to timely and secure releases.

Other manufacturers provide security updates every 2 months for midrangers while samsung gives it once every 3 months.

It's true that many brands, like Google and OnePlus, offer security updates every two months for mid-range devices, while Samsung typically provides updates every three months. However, Samsung stands out by offering up to five years of security updates for many devices, which is longer than most competitors.

Samsung focuses on delivering optimized updates that enhance performance and fix bugs, not just security patches. Because they have a wide range of devices, they tend to prioritize their flagship models, which can lead to longer wait times for mid-range updates.

So, while the update frequency may feel slower, Samsung prioritizes quality and stability to ensure a reliable experience for users.

Okay that's agreeable because till now even in my previous Galaxy devices I have not received glitchy software updates.
Motorola has managed to give 5 years of os and security updates to edge it's midranger
But it's very sad to see that samsung not providing security updates as as fast as others.
