Samsung (Samsung) announced that it will provide security updates for a minimum of four years to most of its Galaxy products launched from 2019. The South Korean company has released a list of eligible phones and tablets for this, ranging from budget smartphones to entry-level Galaxy M series and foldable phones. In total, the list includes over 130 models.
Note that these are security updates, they are not Android OS updates. Therefore, where you will not get the next Android version on your phone, a four-year security update will help keep your device safe for long-term use. However, frequency updates may not be the same for all support phones. While some phones will get monthly security updates, other devices will get quarterly updates.
