Samsung never misses the chance to be in the limelight; this time, at an unpacked event, it also disclosed the software support for the latest Galaxy S24 series and surprised the Galaxy enthusiast.
Samsung’s 7 Years Android Update Policy
Samsung has packed the latest generation Galaxy S24 series with a powerful chipset, all the convenient features, and a brand new design. However, all these can be forgotten once, but the software support of the Galaxy S24 series is unforgettable; hence, it is one of the novelties of the series.
Before the official announcement, rumors and leaks were roaring in the air that the Galaxy S24 series would get seven years of OS updates, and who knew? Fortunately, the expectation would come true.
Samsung, at an unpacked event, officially committed that the Galaxy S24 series will get seven years of major Android OS updates and security patches. Undoubtedly, the Galaxy S24 series is the first to get seven major OSs in the Galaxy family, but not in the industry. Since Google has already supported the Pixel 8 series for seven years,
Google launched its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices last year with the support of seven years of major Android updates and security patches. Google was the first to introduce seven years of software support in the tech industry. And now Samsung has adopted this technique to upgrade smartphones as long as Google’s Pixel.
However, both of the brands have not touched on the software support of older devices in any way. So the old Samsung devices will still get their software updates as allotted previously, and Google also delivers the decided number of software updates to its Pixel devices.
