Previously, these devices were updated every three months and are now reduced to the semi-annual option.
With this change, Samsung says that said devices should only receive security fixes twice a year, but this does not affect the brand’s commitment.
Samsung has confirmed that devices released in 2019 or later will be eligible for at least four years of security updates, and since all of the above phones were released in 2019, they will receive Android security patches until 2023.
In addition to the demotion of these members, the Samsung too is over Support for some smartphones.
They should no longer receive security updates: Galaxy A2 Core, Galaxy J4 Core, Galaxy J7 PlusAnd Galaxy Tab E8 NS Galaxy View 2.
