There is currently only one Android smartphone manufacturer that promises updates over such a long period of time: Google will provide its Pixel 8 smartphones with Android updates and security updates for seven years. Samsung obviously took this as a model in order to catch up with Google.
Because Samsung currently only offers security updates for five years and promises four major Android updates for its top smartphones. We presented the South Koreans' update model in detail in the article Samsung: How long will your smartphones and tablets continue to receive updates.

However, these five years are quite remarkable compared to many other Android smartphone manufacturers. Manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Oppo and Oneplus are also offering longer support periods of up to four and sometimes five years of Android or at least security updates for more and more of their devices. Oneplus, for example, has published its update periods on this website. However, it should be noted that most manufacturers offer different support periods for top models and mid-range and entry-level devices.
