Samsung commits to 4 years of updates for its 2019 and later smartphones

22 February 2021
The new policy includes the Z, S, Note, A, M, XCover and Tab series.

Sort by:

At the prices we shelling out for flagship phones they could do better than 4 years. Just imagine after having spent 1800 dollars on a fold for it to become paperweight in 3.5 years.

      Why galaxy A80 couldn't upgrade to Android 10? It says that's the latest software update, also in its specs from this site it mention that its upgradable. Gladly its included hope it will update to Android 10. I'm also glad s20 FE is included hope 3.1 will come for it. But the update is really for security only? Hope not only that thing

                And so they should. Phones dont age that quicky these days as new ones that come out have almost same specs. A minimum of 4 years for all phones then less going to landfill too quickly.

                  kek, 22 Feb 2021Good one, Samsung. Now, fix the PWM issues of your AMOLED s... moreNobody is fixing low frequency pwm without government intervention or a class-action lawsuit from users after their eyesight is totally destroyed.

                  There's just no incentive to fix it. It's cheaper to put out trash screens and make the contrast incredibly high. Even Apple is doing pwm these days, and OnePlus doesn't allow DC dimming anymore. People think, "look, shiny! bright colors!" and fall for the AMOLED garbage without realizing the damage being done at lower brightness levels.

                              So, it's really a commitment to do 3 major updates and 1 security update afterwards. ?
