Google constantly tries to bring innovations to its Android ecosystem that lead to revolutionizing it and keeping ahead of its other competitors, like Apple. Over the years, the company has made many changes to its operating system to make it more interesting and intuitive. In the case of convenience, the company is almost successful in getting the millstone.
However, it lacked long-term software support for the device, but last year, the Big G extended it and brought support for seven years of software support with its latest Pixel 8 series devices. Following that, Samsung has also implemented the same policy for the Galaxy devices; however, currently, the Samsung Galaxy S24 is the only contender that is blessed with long software support.
Will Samsung continue the seven-year software support policy?
Based on past events, it is highly expected that the company may bring the seven-year software policy to more devices. For your information, in the last policy change, the year 2022, the Korean giant included some devices, including the Galaxy S21 series, the Galaxy S21 FE, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which were only eligible for four years of software support, but the company has to redefine the policy for them and extend it for one more year. Along with the older devices, the company has implemented the same for later flagship devices.
With time, the five-year software policy has also started for the midrange device, and now there is no difference left between premium and affordable devices, so to make some difference, the company may introduce the seven-year software update policy for the flagship devices.
Top candidates to get seven-year software support
Samsung hasn’t had any latest flagship devices in its catalog since the Galaxy S24 series, so that may be the main reason why the company hasn’t expanded its product line to other devices over the past seven years, but in the coming days some new flagship devices are coming, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, and the Galaxy S24 FE. If the company officially publishes the new software policy expansion, it may also add some flagship devices from last year.
