One UI Update Policy: These Samsung devices eligible for Three Android Upgrades

The software update is a must for every device. Isn’t it? Yes, it is because the updates bring new features, fixes, improvements, and much more for better device performance. However, you can use your smartphone without updating the software update as it is important, not mandatory.
But without updating your device, you will not get new features and bug fixes on your phone. So, if you’re facing any issue on your smartphone then it may be fixed by installing the latest update.
