We can say that one of the details we pay attention to before buying a smartphone is update support. This is such an important element that although some brands produce high-end models, they may not be preferred because they fail in terms of software support. Samsung is also one of the most active companies in terms of update support, and especially with its policies in recent years, it now offers longer periods. The brand recently terminated software support for a popular model.
Update support for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip LTE has ended
Samsung, which continues to unplug devices that do not seem to be able to run new models in terms of hardware, has ended the update support for Galaxy Z Flip, which was released in 2020 . This means that the foldable phone will no longer receive Android updates and security patches.
First of all, let’s point out that the model that lost software support is the LTE version of the foldable phone. In other words, the 5G version, which will be released six months from now, will continue to be supported by Samsung for a while, although not as frequently as before .
As it is known, more user-friendly decisions are now being made regarding update support in the smartphone industry. For example, software support, which was an average of 2-3 years a few years ago, will vary between 4-5 years by 2024. Some brands even take it one step further and extend this support up to 7 years.
To give users an idea, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip LTE features are as follows:
- Screen: 6.7-inch foldable Dynamic AMOLED, 1.1-inch cover screen
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+
- Memory: 8GB
- Storage: 256GB (non-expandable)
- Rear Cameras: 12MP wide + 12MP ultrawide
- You Camera: 10 MP
- Battery: 3300 mAh
- Charging: 15W wired, 9W wireless
