Albeit as much as 4 years, but not so often: extended support for Samsung smartphones turned out to be limited

Samsung recently announced that many tablets and smartphones released since 2019 will now receive

security updates for 4 years. Now the company has decided to clarify which models and how often they will be updated.

Whom does it concern

Thus, the list of devices includes Galaxy smartphones and tablets of the Z, S, Note, A, M, XCover and Tab series, released since 2019. There are more than 130 models in total. But the frequency of patches depends on the model and its “freshness”.

For example, new and high-end devices will receiveSecurity updates are monthly, while less popular models can count on updates only twice a year. Of course, this is not as often as we would like, but it’s still better than nothing.

According to the list, the flagship Galaxy S21, foldable smartphones, some previous flagships and enterprise models like the rugged Galaxy XCover will receive security patches on a monthly basis.
