    These comments show how little most people actually read (or how poorly). It's four years of SECURITY UPDATES, NOT OS UPDATES!

    In other words, very little has changed for Android's pathetic update support for every phone except Pixels (which I own), and even the Pixel is behind the iPhone's excellent support.

      Samsung already has great security updates support, if they support Android updates for 3 years I'm 100% getting a Samsung flagship as my next phone.

        These are not software updates like apple , these are security updates for 4 years but still not guaranteed. They said 3 years of software updates but these are still not guaranteed either

          An excellent move by Samsung, now THIS is what all manufacturers are supposed to follow especially when they are asking $1000+ for their flagships.

            I will wait and see.
            Also, it's important the time when you receive that update. If it's 6 months after the initial release of that version of Android, then is not that good.
            Not to mention when you are talking about so many models and so many variables, there will surely be a lot of software bugs (especially for older models). The average consumer doesn't want the latest and greatest OS, if that will make the phone more laggy or perform with more problems. They will rather stick with an older version in which the phone performs good (usually the one that comes with the phone is the best).

              Those who demanding 4 os upgrades... except snapdragon 888 no other snapdragon/mediatek chipset support that.

                  Those who are saying 'what about F series' then f will be counted under M series. F just denotes Flipkart (Indian e-com website)
                  And m62 will launch as global variant of f62.

                    They should just make 5 years update for each mobile phone & Tablet because after every 5 years i think every person changes their mobile phone to a new one within that period of time.

                                  I suppose they plan to do this.

                                  Flagships: monthly patch for 1st year, every two months for 2nd year, every 3 months in 3rd year and twice in 4th year.

                                  Midranges/low ends : every two months (1st year), every 3 months (2nd year), twice in 3rd year and single patch in 4th year

                                        So no, no one is getting Android 12 on their S10.
