Samsung surprises, now affordable Galaxy devices will also receive 5-year software support [List]

Published

Last year, Samsung made a major announcement recognizing the significance of maintaining up-to-date smartphones. In recent times, customers have also been considering this aspect while selecting their devices. Accordingly, the company revealed that certain models would receive as many as four updates of the Android operating system and five years of security patches.

Samsung surprises by announcing the extended Android OS and security support updates for affordable devices. Recently the Galaxy A24 launch in some market and it will get four Android updates and five years of security updates, which is similar to the flagship devices. This indicates that the company is now focusing on improving the after-sell for low-cost devices as well.

How will it impact you?

Let’s compare the market size of customers who buy flagship devices. There is a large number of users who like to buy affordable smartphones, so Samsung is considering that it will be a very good marketing stunt because nowadays, customers check this parameter as well. If the company expands this policy to other affordable devices so it will be beneficiary to you because then you don’t have to think about future software support and can immediately buy any device according to other specifications.

Regular updates are also important.

For the flagship devices, Samsung provides regular, monthly updates and new Android updates in the initial phase of its availability, but for the other devices, there is no fixed timing; it may take up to two months to reach. But it will be worth seeing whether Samsung makes any changes to the affordable device or not. However, in the race for quick availability of software updates, no one can beat Apple because it rolls out the update to every device as soon as it is available.

The main reason for the slow update rolls out by Samsung is that the company doesn’t make its own OS; it only depends on Google, first Google releases the update, then it handover to Samsung, and then Samsung makes changes and adds some new features through its latest One UI skin and then distribute to different devices, for the flagship device, the company pushes full-fledged version, but for low-end devices, it released a lite version of the UI in the term of the core.

List of all Samsung smartphones that have been promised up to 4 Android updates:

The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is not just leading the tech industry but also sponsoring the Olympics and Paralympics. Now, it is shaking hands with surfing, skateboarding, and breaking leagues to promote these sports as well as their communities on the road to the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

Earlier this year, the official theme Samsung announced for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 was ‘Open always wins’. This theme pretends that Samsung values open-mindedness and new experiences. The giants believe that surfing, skateboarding, and breaking are all important aspects of this theme, and they plan to support these sports as well as their communities.

Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of Marketing for Mobile Experience Business at Samsung Electronics, stated that “an “open mindset to try new things, the determination to push the limits of what’s possible, and a culture of inclusivity that embraces everyone lie at the heart of each sport. These attributes are something we at Samsung are also passionate about, and we are honored to support these three organizations and their athletes and recognize their communities—nnot only as the countdown to Paris 2024 continues, but as they work to open their sports to the world every day.”

Samsung will engage WSL, SLS, and PBT athletes and fan bases at key events on the Road to the Games. On behalf of this new collaboration, Samsung will introduce a new initiative next month that will showcase the legendary athletes and unique cultures of surfing, skateboarding, and breaking communities. 

It is expected that more detailed information regarding this new collaboration, community initiative, and partnership activities will come soon in the coming weeks.

The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ recently introduced its mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy A55, which is powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset. Let’s take a closer look at this chipset. 

Initially, Samsung did not announce the name of the chipset, but now it appears that the giants are now setting up to formally announce their latest mid-range Exynos chipset. The fans eagerly wanted to know the key details of the Exynos 1480 mid-range chipset. So here we are mentioning the key details of the chipset: 

Samsung Foundry’s 4nm (4LPP+) process node powers the newest Exynos 1480, a significant upgrade over the 5nm Exynos 1380 chip from last year. This chipset includes: 

  • Four ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.75GHz 
  • Four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz 

The Korean giants stated that this new Exynos chip is 22% more power-efficient than its predecessor. Also, this chipset is suitable for LPDDR4x/LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. 

The Exynos 1480 is the first mid-range chipset of the Exynos family, which is an AMD RDNA-based Xclipse 530 GPU. This will enhance the experience by delivering a seamless Full HD+ resolution display at a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Apart from this, if the reports are to be believed, this GPU uses AMD’s RDNA 2 technique. 

The brand also assures on its website that it uses the latest RDNA technique, named RDNA 3. Samsung also claimed that the Exynos 1480 will deliver 53% faster GPU performance as compared to the Exynos 1380. It has some advanced gaming features, such as variable rate shading (VRS) and super resolution (frame upscaling). 

The ISP, which stands for Image Signal Processor, supports at least 200 MP camera sensors, and it has the power to process frames from two camera sensors that are 32 MP + 32 MP together along with zero shutter lag or one 64 MP camera sensor with zero shutter lag and HDR. It has the power to record 4K 60fps videos. The built-in AI Engine (NPU) has 4x faster on-device AI performance as compared to its predecessor. This has fabricated a 5G model with mmWave and sub-6GHz network compatibility. The rest of the connectivity features of the Exynos 1480 include GNSS (BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and GPS), Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a USB Type-C port.

Samsung Praises Google’s Circle to Search for AI-Powered Features. Samsung debuted this feature on its Galaxy S24 flagship series back in 2024, which is grabbing more publicity. 

Samsung introduced ‘Galaxy AI’, a bundle of AI-generated features on the Galaxy S24 series initially, and now it’s already started making them available to more Galaxy flagship devices from 2023 through the latest One UI 6.1 update. 

Samsung’s Galaxy AI includes various features, including Circle to Search, Live Translate, Transcript Assist, Call Assist, Note Assist, AI-powered editing tools, and many more. Among all of them, the Circle to Search feature is the one that is gaining the most popularity on the Galaxy S24 smartphone. 

The fact is that the Korean giants are not even responsible for their’most  popular’ Circle to Search feature, which is the most popular among all AI-powered ones since it is a feature with Google, which means that Google is responsible and deserves praise, and regarding this, Samsung stated that: 

“Circle to Search with Google revolutionized the way users search, helping it become the most widely used AI feature amongst Galaxy S24 users. It allows them to learn more about almost anything on their screens quickly with a simple gesture, without having to switch apps.”

Before Samsung, Google already introduced this Circle to Search feature on its Pixel 8 series and Pixel 7 series smartphones in a similar style as it is available on the Galaxy S24 series. 

The only fact is that Samsung hugely advertises this feature, whereas Google appears quite a bit into advertising this Circle to Search feature.
