        So for people who got confused or didn't read the article ;) :

        4 years of SECURITY UPDATES for ALL Galaxy phones from the Z, S, Note, A, M, XCover and Tab series, launched since 2019.

        3 major ANDROID UPDATES (OS) for all Galaxy S, Z, Note launched since 2019. And mid-range Galaxy A51(5G) & A71(5G) from 2020 and up.
        For example: If your phone came with Android 11 you will also get Android 14 (+ 4 years of Security updates).

        2 major ANDROID UPDATES (OS) for all the rest of the Galaxy family.
        Like the cheaper A0x, A1x, A3x, A4x models, M-series and F-series
        For example: If your phone came with Android 11 you will also get Android 13 (+ 4 years of Security updates).


        NO Samsung phone will get only a single Android update + 1 year of security updates.
        But it's very common for most other Android manufacturers in the low- and mid-range segment... cough... OnePlus, Motorola, TCL, cough... cough...

            Gandalf, 22 Feb 2021Samsung already has great security updates support, if they... moreSamsung already announced that they will provide 3 years of software updates. A51 is also getting 3 years of os support.
            And now they are giving 4 years of security updates.

              Khamis1990, 22 Feb 2021They should just make 5 years update for each mobile phone ... moreEvery Android OEM does 2 years Samsung is the one who does 3.

              On top of that they have more devices out there than Apple and Pixel phones combined. Some have Exynos some have Snapdragon variants. There's a lot more work for Samsung to do to update all their devices for 4 or 5 years.

                Any how they can't surpass APPLE

                  You have to wait 4 years for the updates now? JK. But seriously the only thing that matters is the timeliness of version updates. It doesn't matter if they do 4 years of updates and only the security updates are timely. Android versions need to be timely as well.

                          my S9 is from 2018 and I still get security updates.3 years and 1 month.so,S9 should be in the list,too.

                            Lol.ivan, 22 Feb 2021Yeah especially on how they literally cared about the A1X (... moreThey are a reputable brand after all, and they make sure that their products are some high-quality well-made devices.
                            One part of what I like about them is their screen. I saw and tried using a Galaxy A71 and a Poco F2 Pro, and it's insane at how much brighter and more lively the display on the Samsung is compared to the Poco. I can even go as far as saying it's comparable to the flagship S and Note series in terms of punchiness and overall appeal, while the Poco F2 Pro's AMOLED display can be mistaken for a high-quality IPS LCD instead.

                              I can post my comments.....but someone with a better opinion will reply with a shitty answer. Bottom line is, Apple are shit.....never have, and never will have my support.....and Samsung screwed me for the last time. If you buy a flagship phone, these perks should be free for the lifetime of the original owner. Be it 10 years later.....costs Samsung nothing. Next upgrade won't be a Samsung......thats for sure.

                                Google needs to step up if they want to advertise of getting more updates.

                                  4 years update or update after 4 years?

                                    Ok I wouldn't complain of a extra year of security updates. Good for them but they need an extra year of OS updates and better performance and then you got a ultimate iPhone competitor

                                      Khamis1990, 22 Feb 2021They should just make 5 years update for each mobile phone ... moreMost people yes, but I can't keep a phone for more than 2-3 years before feeling outdated, so those 5 years of updates would be useless to me.
