Compared to Apple, Android manufacturers still don’t provide the same update coverage. But for the past few years, Samsung has been trying to improve on that, going from two major Android updates to three recently.
Samsung may start giving four years of Android updates on top
According to the SamMobile site, Samsung is preparing to take the next step at this Wednesday’s Unpacked event. According to a leak, Samsung intends to extend its policy to four years of major updates to some of its equipment.
Currently Samsung already promises four years of security updates on some of its equipment. But according to this leak, the manufacturer would provide five years of security updates for some of its terminals.
Both the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy Tab S8 will arrive from the factory with Android 12. If this change in strategy is confirmed by Samsung, it means that they can be updated up to Android 16.
In this way, the terminals presented this Wednesday will be able to receive important Android updates until 2025-2026 and security updates until 2027. What in the field of Android seemed like a mirage until very recently.
From the smartphones that are already on the market, there are other Samsung terminals that can easily integrate this eligibility list. Starting with the Galaxy S21 launched a year ago, but not only.

This is a measure that we want to make a reality, and that will undoubtedly give Samsung a lot of points. This is because it values ​​those who invest in a new brand smartphone.
