Samsung has taken a strong stance on security by offering extensive support for security updates for its smartphones.
All Z, S, Note, A, M, XCover and Tab series Galaxy phones, launched since 2019 will receive at least 4 years of security updates. At the time of writing, there are over 130 models.
Now these are security updates and not major operating system updates. Samsung recently promised 3 generations of Android operating system updates for its flagships, but that’s a whole different thing.
Security updates can be quarterly or monthly, and they may take longer to access a specific device, depending on its location or carrier.
Here is the full list of devices eligible for at least 3 years of security updates. Interestingly, the Galaxy A02 is not mentioned (although the A02 is), nor the Galaxy M02 and M02, so we cannot verify if they are among the supported devices.
