Samsung tipped to offer 4 OS updates to newer devices
If the reports are accurate, Samsung Galaxy owners—at least those with the relatively newer devices—will get an extra year of major operating system updates and five years of security patches. The company will reportedly extend its Android update policy from three releases to four.
Compared to Apple's updates, the iPhones typically get at least six years' worth of upgrades. Still, this is good news for those planning to get the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 devices, which the company is expected to launch at tomorrow's Unpacked event. Other Samsung devices reportedly getting this upgrade include the Galaxy S21 series and the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Fold3 devices.
