Today, it is Samsung that offers the best update support in the entire Android catalog.

It is not Nokia, nor Motorola, nor Xiaomi nor Google itself with its Pixel terminals who offer on the Android platform the most comprehensive update supportsince since April 2020 the giant Samsung promised its users to update for at least 3 years flagship Galaxy phones.

This meant that most Samsung phones and tablets could receive up to 3 major updates android in addition to the security patches that are distributed monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, depending on the age of the device, a major commitment that no other manufacturer wanted to match at least to date and/or officially.

These are all the Samsung Galaxy mobiles that will enjoy 4 years of updates.

Samsung did not stop there, anyway, because as the colleagues at SamMobile told us and we had also announced at Andro4all at the time, the Seoul firm extended this commitment a few months later, adding up to 4 years of major updates and up to 5 years of security patches to the after-sales support equation for a good many of its most representative terminals.

At least officially, no other manufacturer in the Android catalog has wanted to commit like Samsung to updating its phones for 4 years with ‘major updates’ of the operating system, in addition to offering security patches for at least 5 years from its launch.

Obviously, given these premises, it seems that when it comes to updating her Samsung devices she plays alone in a market where some manufacturers also extend their support to some of their smartphones, although they do always without committing, seeking to avoid misunderstandings and without generating frustration to users.

Be that as it may, we have come here to talk about Samsung and to recite the list of Galaxy devices that will update for 4 years since its launch so that you always have it present, making it possible for users to enjoy nothing less than up to 4 new full versions of Androidin addition to keeping cybercriminals at bay with security support that will offer up to 5 years of patches and corrections.

As always, indicate that this list will be kept alive and therefore we will continue to update it as more terminals are announced, though for now you will have to have a lot of patience and review the compatibility lists with the different maintenance programs that Samsung has been publishing in recent weeks.
