Google launched its seven-year software support pledge alongside the Pixel 8 series in 2023
However, this year, the enterprise edition of the Galaxy Tab Active 5 is confirmed to be getting three additional years of software support compared to the standard version. While the regular Galaxy Tab Active 5 will get five years of full OS upgrades, the enterprise version will get eight.
Samsung has removed four Galaxy models from its monthly security patch roadmap as of August 2025: the Galaxy A22, F22, M32, and M42 5G. All were launched in 2021 with a promise of two major Android upgrades and four years of security updates.
...the company has removed four Galaxy smartphones from the official support list: Galaxy A52s, Galaxy A03s, Galaxy M32 5G, and Galaxy F42 5G.
The Galaxy A51 comes with Android 10 installed out of the box... This also makes it the first Samsung smartphone to come with Android 10 and One UI 2.0 pre-installed.
Samsung's own End of Service announcement states that it is "Applicable to the US market only." And in an interview with German publication Bild, the Korean company said that "Samsung currently has no plans to discontinue Samsung Messages in countries other than the USA."
The Galaxy A14 5G is the first Samsung phone to be announced with Android 13 and One UI (Core) 5.0 running on it out of the box.
These handsets bring some hardware upgrades over their predecessors, but more importantly, they are the first Samsung phones to come with One UI 6 out of the box (not counting the Galaxy S23 FE, which launched with One UI 6 out of the box in some markets but made its debut with Android 13).
Samsung likely didn't have time to work on One UI 7.1, One UI 7.1.1, and One UI 8.0 (based on Android 16) simultaneously. Hence, the company could have decided to skip One UI 7.1 and One UI 7.1.1 and directly release One UI 8.0 in the second half of this year.
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 will receive up to six major Android OS upgrades. Since both devices are being released with Android 16 and One UI 8.5 pre-installed, this promise covers them until Android 22.
The stable One UI 8.5 update will start rolling out today, May 6, 2026, to eligible Galaxy devices. The update will first arrive in South Korea, followed by Europe, Hong Kong, India, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.
Samsung announced [on August 2020] that it's going to support select devices for three Android OS upgrades. The eligible devices don't include Galaxy S models released before the Galaxy S10. All previous models are not eligible.
It won't receive Android OS updates anymore. However, it will continue to get security updates for the rest of the year.
The devices affected are the Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy A32, the A52, and the A72.
The devices in question are the Galaxy A13, Galaxy A23, and Galaxy M33 5G. All three launched in April 2022 running One UI 4.0 (Android 12)... The Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A23 received two major OS upgrades, with One UI 6 (Android 14) serving as their final major update. The Galaxy M33 5G, meanwhile, received four major OS upgrades, the last of which was One UI 8 (Android 16).
Samsung has released the January 2025 security update plan, which reveals that the company will no longer release software updates for three of its smartphones. These devices are Samsung Galaxy A02s, Galaxy A12, and the W21 5G (Chinese variant of Galaxy Z Fold 2).
...the Galaxy A82 5G was getting updates twice a year. Now, they have all been taken off the schedule. This means their official software support has ended.
Samsung has ended update support for the Galaxy Z Fold 2. The 2020 foldable is no longer eligible for new software updates, not even security patches. The Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A12 are also done getting new updates from the company. These devices will not receive the January 2025 security patch either.
