Samsung has made a big step by promising 7 years of One UI software updates for its new flagship phones. This shows they care about keeping customers happy and sets a new standard for how long phones stay safe and up-to-date.

Samsung’s Software Update Policy Evolution:

In the past, Samsung didn’t offer many software updates for its phones. They used to give just two big Android updates and security updates for three years. But things changed in 2020 when they started promising three big updates and four years of security patches with the Galaxy S20. Then, in 2022, the company stepped it up again, promising four big updates and five years of security updates for some models like the Galaxy S21.

The big change happened in January 2024 when Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series. They promised an amazing 7 years of updates for the Android system, One UI, and security for these new flagship phones. This was Samsung’s answer to Google’s similar announcement for their Pixel phones, setting a new standard for how long Android phones get support.

Eligible Samsung Galaxy Devices for 7 Years of Updates:

Galaxy S Series:

  • Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra
  • Galaxy S24 FE
  • Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra
Galaxy Z Series (Foldable Devices):

  • Galaxy Z Fold6
  • Galaxy Z Flip6
Galaxy Tablets:

  • Galaxy Tab S10 series
These devices, all launched in 2024 or later, benefit from this new software update policy. The promise includes not just the Android OS updates but also Samsung’s custom One UI enhancements and security patches, ensuring that your device remains up-to-date, secure, and feature-rich for up to seven years from the release date.

My opinion:

Extended software support is crucial for several reasons:

  • Longevity: Users can expect their devices to remain modern and usable for longer without needing to upgrade frequently.
  • Security: Regular security updates protect devices from vulnerabilities over time, which is vital as cyber threats evolve.
  • Value: This policy increases the overall value of Samsung devices, appealing to consumers who prioritize long-term investment in electronics.
  • This update policy is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to keep their phones for several years rather than upgrading the latest model each year. It ensures that your device will not become obsolete quickly due to software limitations. Yeah, this means less electronic waste, I am not laughing😅

Giving an update after a year doesn't mean a software update. When the whole mobile world is on Android 15 and Pixels are on 16, Samsung can't even claim that their flagship is running Android 15. This tells you a lot about the company's shady update policy. Promising updates when the world will be far ahead means nothing. Android 15, as of today, is not even given to the S24.
