Samsung One UI: How long will Galaxy smartphones get Android updates
Samsung has emerged as one of the leading companies, following Google, in consistently delivering software updates for its Galaxy devices. While the company previously prioritized hardware quality over software updates, it has now shifted its focus to the software department in recent years. This strategic shift is driven by the recognition that providing robust software support is crucial for enhancing the reliability of their devices. In today’s competitive smartphone market, customers increasingly seek devices that offer innovative features and continue to deliver an exceptional user experience over an extended period.
So to keep its dominance in the Android smartphone, Samsung has changed its strategy and started giving proper updates to the smartphones. Earlier, the company promised to give at least three updates to the expensive smartphones, and the other one is only eligible for the two Android updates. But after the policy change in 2022, the Korean giant has expanded the software support for the devices. Now the high-end device is eligible for four Android updates.
Apart from these, Samsung has also parted the device in eligibility of security updates available for the devices; however, most of the devices are eligible for five years of security updates. But if you go for the calculation, you have to go for the exact and then add the different eligible years for each device. To save you time, we have created a list of all Galaxy devices eligible for the updates.

Samsung Patent Hints at Rethinking Smart Glasses like Apple Vision Pro
Samsung is a tough competitor for Apple, and now to fire up the battle, the latest patent filing is unveiling that Samsung is gearing up to introduce a new VR headset with more advanced features as compared to Apple’s Vision Pro.
The reports are reporting that the Korean giant has filed for a new patent for a VR headset. This is being speculated since patent documentation has been spotted, which is suggesting that Samsung’s VR headset could be better than Apple’s Vision Pro.
It is expected that the forthcoming VR headset will arrive with infrared sensors for augmented reality and offer similar features as Apple’s Vision Pro. The patent has been filed at the Korean Intellectual Property Office with the description “Communication methods and apparatus utilizing avatars in virtual space.”
According to the document, it appears that the headset can showcase virtual avatars to the user by using multiple sensors to collect information from their surroundings. However, here is a noticeable fact: the patent does not mention the word headset anywhere. In place of that, it hints at any gadget that can be worn by the user.
The reports are saying that the headset will work smoothly with Samsung wireless headphones and smartwatches. It can probably gather health data, such as heart rate and calories burned, from connected devices to create a virtual avatar for fitness activities. The brand could also attach various sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and even infrared sensors. These would track your movements and locations exactly.
The documents also mention the possibility of an integrated navigation system, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support. The device could also have its own processor, GPU, and NPU to manage this data. The giant could also attach a rechargeable battery, although at the moment, the exact position of the battery placement in the device is not mentioned.
However, the brand has yet to officially announce the development of a forthcoming VR headset.

Galaxy AI Powers Samsung’s Smartphone Sales Surge
Samsung Electronics has disclosed the financial results of its Q1 2024; fortunately, the results are mesmerizing, as the mobile division was upbeat by Galaxy S24 sales.
The Korean brand debuted the Galaxy S24 flagship series in January earlier this year, bringing a slew of Galaxy AI novelties to the phones and older flagship devices. It is reported by Samsung’s mobile and network division that they have won 3.51 trillion of operating profit in Q1 2024, around ~$ 2.54 billion.
It was already reported, again, that the same fact has come into existence: Galaxy AI, a power package of generative AI features, is the key reason behind the sales growth. The brand states that it has decided to bring these AI features to other flagship phones in Q2 2024, but also promises that “it will continue to invest in research and development to further expand and refine Galaxy AI.”
The brand is already all set to debut a bundle of new Galaxy devices at Galaxy Unpacked Event 2024 in July, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Galaxy Tab S10 series, the Galaxy Watch 7 line, and the Galaxy Ring. Samsung is not the only firm actively working on generative AI features, as AI has become increasingly important in the smartphone industry. Other smartphone manufacturers, such as Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus, OPPO, and more, are also actively looking forward to generative AI facilities.
It appears that the increase in investment also comes after a report that the
Galaxy S25 series would run Google’s Gemini Nano 2 machine learning model. Presently, the current version of Gemini Nano authorizes on-device AI features like recorder summaries and Smart Reply in Gborad.
