Samsung provides long-term software support for your Galaxy A54 and A34

Published

on


Every smartphone manufacturer setup their update policies according to which all their devices get regular updates, no matter if they are security patches or major OS updates. The policy varies by model, launch year, and category factors, as the flagship and premium devices get more updates than the mid-range and budget phones. Today we will see when Samsung’s Galaxy A54 and A34 devices will stop having regular updates. 

Informatively, the South Korean tech firm has recently spoken about two upcoming Samsung Galaxy A series devices- the Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34 5G. It is being said that both of these devices will be available on the market for purchase by the second half of this month. Additionally, many other mid-range Galaxy phones will also make their way to the tech market at the same time as those two. 

Let us tell you, as both of these devices are mid-range phones; they will get fewer updates than Samsung’s flagships and other premium devices. For information, the devices will get three types of updates for a pre-decided period. These three types of updates are- Security Patch updates, Operating System (Android) updates, and User Interface (One UI) updates. Let’s take a look at the versions with which these Galaxy A devices will last. 

Security Patch updates

  • Informatively, Security Patch updates, which the BigG provides to correct errors in software codes. 
  • Samsung promises to provide five years of security patch updates for both Galaxy A54 and A34 devices. 
  • Both of these Galaxy A devices will get Security Patches till the year 2028. 
  • The Galaxy A54 will get monthly updates till 2026 and, afterward, quarterly updates for the rest of two years. 
  • The Galaxy A34 will instantly start to receive quarterly updates for three years and then will get half-yearly updates for the rest two years. 

Operating System (Android) updates

As per Samsung’s official update policy, both of these Galaxy A series devices will get a total of four major OS updates excluding the one they will launch with. Notably, these devices will be launched with Android 13, which means they will get up to Android 17 updates. We are providing the list below, on which we have mentioned what OS updates these devices will get and when. 

  • Android 14: Late 2023
  • Android 15: Late 2024
  • Android 16: Late 2025 or Early 2026
  • Android 17: Late 2026 or Early 2027

User Interface (One UI) Updates

Along with the Android updates, Samsung provides UI updates as well to Galaxy phones. These UI updates are based on the on-time Android versions; as of now, the devices will launch with Android 13 and One UI 5.1, which means they will get the same number of UI updates as the OS versions. Currently, Samsung’s UI is One UI which means the Galaxy A devices will last with One UI 9. 

There is one thing to remember, the South Korean firm every time launches an additional update for each generation of its One UI. For example, the One UI 5 has recently got a One UI 5.1 additional update. Informatively, the Galaxy A series devices are eligible for One UI and additional UI updates. We are providing the list below. 

  • One UI 6: Late 2023 (With Android 14)
  • One UI 6.1: Spring 2024
  • One UI 7: Late 2024 (With Android 15)
  • One UI 7.1: Spring 2025
  • One UI 8: Late 2025 or Early 2026 (With Android 16)
  • One UI 8.1: Spring 2026
  • One UI 9: Late 2026 or Early 2027 (With Android 17)
  • One UI 9.1: Spring 2027

Nota bene, this information has been prepared by looking at Samsung’s latest update policy, and if it doesn’t change by that time going, the Galaxy A54 and A34 devices will get the updates as we have mentioned above.

    Looks good to me. I got the A34 and it works fine in the US. I do not care if it is international and not warranty, just baby the phone, and make it last as long as possible.

Published

By


The Samsung Galaxy M55 is on the stage now, as the brand has finally debuted and made it available for pre-order in Brazil. 

Ahead of the launch, leaks and rumors revealed more about this brand-new Galaxy M55 smartphone since Samsung finally introduced it, so there’s no chance for expectations regarding specs and features. 

The brand-new budget-friendly smartphone is named the Galaxy M55, which is the modified version of the mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone. Let’s take a closer look at the new features the device has brought. 

Samsung Galaxy M55 Key Specs: 

The latest affordable Galaxy M55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display along with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, support for Full HD+ resolution, and a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits in HBM (High Brightness Mode), although HDR brightness could be even higher. It also offers an in-display fingerprint reader. 

To enhance the audio experience, it features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. The brand has powered it by the relatively powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset and runs Android 14-based One UI 6.0 out of the box. It is eligible to get four years of major Android OS updates and five years of security patches. It features the Samsung Knox Vault with EAL5+ certification. 

Moving to the camera arrangement of the device, which includes a 50 MP selfie camera with this high resolution, it is the very first smartphone in the Galaxy family to get this much higher resolution. Jumping on the back camera setup that includes a 50MP primary with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro. It is capable of recording 4K 30fps videos with VDIS (Electronic Image Stabilization for Videos) and dual video recording using its front as well as primary rear cameras. 

It has a long-lasting battery life as it features a 5,000mAh battery along with the support of 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0, topping up to 70% just within 30 minutes. It also features GNSS, a hybrid dual-SIM card slot, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a USB Type-C port.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Flip 6 Charging Details Revealed: No Upgrade Expected

Published

By


Samsung is setting up to upgrade the battery life of the sixth-generation Galaxy foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. But what about the charging speeds? 

Leaks and rumors are doing well to increase the enthusiasm among the Galaxy foldable fans, as ahead of any official commitment they are unveiling the expected design, processor, and key features such as battery. It has already been revealed that the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature a bigger dual battery as compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5

But here’s the question: a bigger dual battery is okay! But what about the charging speed, whether it gets upgraded or not? 

It is sad to relate the answer: Samsung may not upgrade the charging speed of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. This is being speculated by an important certification in China that lists both the foldable smartphones and Samsung’s 25W charger. Not only this, but the charger also carries the model number EP-TA800, which is examined by the regulatory authorities for every Galaxy smartphone as well as tablets that support 25W charging. 

Since a 25W charger is mentioned in the certification, it does not indicate that 25W will be the maximum charging speed on the new phones. Flagship Galaxy devices that support 45W charging are tested along with the 25W charger as well, but noticeably, these certifications are not the exact confirmation of a charging speed. This may change as well. 

But it has come to be known that if Samsung introduces 45W charging to its forthcoming foldable this year, then there is a high possibility that only the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will support it. In short, since Samsung has not officially revealed anything regarding the battery of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 yet, we can just wait to see what new changes and upgrades the forthcoming foldable will bring.

Samsung Could Welcome Back ‘Galaxy C Series’ With Galaxy C55 In 2024

Published

Samsung appears to believe old is gold, as it is planning a re-welcome for its old ‘Galaxy C series’ as reported. 

Presently, Samsung is playing a game with its six series, including the Galaxy Z (foldable), Galaxy S (flagship), Galaxy A (mid-range), Galaxy M and Galaxy F (affordable), and Galaxy Note. Now it is planning to add one more series named ‘Galaxy C’. 

Although the Galaxy C series is not the latest for the Korean giants, seven years ago there was a Galaxy C series in existence that vanished away. The last device from the C series was the Galaxy C8, which was launched back in 2017. And now it looks like Samsung is gearing up for the comeback of the Galaxy C series with a brand new device named the Galaxy C55. 

This is being speculated since the smartphone has now surfaced on the Google Play Console listing, suggesting specs similar to the Galaxy M55 and Galaxy F55. However, the device will not see a global debut and is intended for the Chinese market. The Play Console listing unveils some key details; for instance, the device will feature a Full HD (1080 x 2400 pixel) display with a screen density of 450 DPI, 8GB of RAM, and will be powered by Android 14 and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. 

It is the same chipset that is rumored for the Galaxy M55 and Galaxy F55. Qualcomm introduced this mid-range chip back in 2022 and offers four Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz, four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 662 GPU. Apart from this, no much more details have been revealed regarding the Galaxy C55 yet, but it is expected that soon more information will come to light.
