Samsung Ends Update Support for Another Galaxy A Series Phone

Samsung has shared the details about the July 2024 security patch. With the revelation of the information, the company has also described the scope of the security patch update, where it has provided a dedicated list of the devices belonging to the different categories, including monthly, quarterly, and biannual.
These devices are divided on the basis of price range; however, from time to time, the company also removes the device from the list by following the policy. The Galaxy A21s is a fresh example of it.
The Galaxy A21s has completed four software support
Samsung has introduced the Galaxy A21s, launched back in 2020. It came with Android 10 preinstalled. Later, the device grabbed three more major updates in the form of Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13.
Now, following the software update policy, the device is more eligible to get any new major update. Along with this, the device also grabbed several security patches. However, the device is no longer eligible for another minor update as it has crossed the limit of the update.
At the start, the device was listed under the quarterly update list, where it was eligible to get four security patch updates per year. After two years, it was downgraded to the biannual update list with the eligibility to get only two updates per year. Now, after completing the full cycle, the device is removed from the list.
If you are still using the Galaxy A21s device, then you should switch to the latest device, because if you continue to use the device after six months of the last security patch update, then the device will not be able to protect your privacy and data from external threats. If you want to switch to the new midrange device, then you can choose the latest device released in the Galaxy A series this year.
