Galaxy A24 is Samsung’s cheapest smartphone, which comes with support for four major Android upgrades. However, there’s news that may disappoint some, who care about software updates. Recently, Samsung confirmed the software update policy of Galaxy A24, revealing its ineligibility for monthly updates.

A few days back, the company published the June 2023 patch details and revised software update chart. In the document, Samsung added the new Galaxy A24 in the “quarterly updates” plan, ensuring regular releases for about four years, followed by an additional year of biannual OTAs.

Notably, the Galaxy A34 5G is also eligible for the same security updates treatment as the Galaxy A24. Meanwhile, their elder cousin – Galaxy A54 5G matches Samsung’s flagship devices with support for new monthly security updates.

Samsung Galaxy A24 Software Update Policy:

• Android updates – Up to Android 17
• Security patches – Until April 2028

The South Korean tech giant is willing to support the newly released min-range devices longer than their predecessors. At the same time, it’s maintaining a gap between flagship and mid-range/budget phones to keep the former ones practically superior.
