One of the most important factors we consider before buying a phone or tablet is update support. This ensures that your device continues to run the latest versions smoothly and remains more resistant to potential security issues.
Many brands, especially Samsung, have recently revised their update policies and now support their products for longer periods. So, which models will the South Korean manufacturer provide six years of update support?
Samsung models receiving six years of update support
Samsung recently made a move that delighted its users. The company announced that the Galaxy A16 5G, which was recently released, will receive six years of update support.
