Four years of updates for Galaxies!
Earlier this year, the South Korean tech giant promised four years of regular security updates for all the Galaxy devices launched in/after 2019. However, there’s a catch that is the company will offer only two new updates in the last/fourth year and will discontinue official support.
What’s new with s/w updates
Samsung releases new firmware updates, which include new CVE fixes, security patches, system stability improvements, additional features, OS upgrades, One UI versions, and more. Basically, the OEM offers new security updates every month to flagships, while others get quarterly for 3 years from the official launch.
