Samsung Galaxy S24 series to receive seven years of software updates: Report

Samsung's Galaxy S24 series is poised to receive seven years of updates, akin to Google Pixel, extending well beyond traditional support. This move could significantly impact the Android ecosystem, enhancing user experience and device longevity.

Samsung Galaxy S24 series to receive seven years of software updates: Report

Samsung is on the brink of introducing its latest Galaxy S24 series, which will include models such as the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Amidst numerous leaks and speculations, a recent revelation suggests that the series may receive extended software support, possibly lasting up to seven years. This support is expected to cover comprehensive updates for both Android and One UI.

Extended Software Support for Galaxy S24 Series

According to a report by Android Headlines, Samsung is contemplating a significant extension in software support for its flagship Galaxy series. The duration of this support could extend to seven years, surpassing the conventional four-year support.

The scope of this extension, whether it includes security patches or full Android/One UI updates, remains unconfirmed. This change could notably influence the Android market, as Google's Pixel 8 launched with a seven-year update promised had earlier.

Notably, the report also hints at the inclusion of Galaxy AI features, free until at least 2025, with a potential paywall introduction from 2026 onwards.

Speculations on Samsung Galaxy S23 Software Updates

There is uncertainty about whether last year's models, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, will also benefit from this speculated seven-year support. Historical precedents suggest Samsung might include its 2023 flagships in this extended support framework.

The Galaxy S23, equipped with One UI 5.1 based on Android 13, already received its first major update to One UI 6 and Android 14. Samsung has assured four software updates for these models, potentially updating them up to Android 17 by 2026.

Launch Details of Samsung Galaxy S24 Series in India

The eagerly awaited Samsung Galaxy S24 series is set to launch in India on January 17th at 11:30 PM IST. Pre-orders are underway, and customers can secure a #Next Galaxy VIP Pass for Rs 1,999, offering benefits worth Rs 5,000. The exact availability date post-launch remains unspecified.

Wrap Up

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is not only anticipated for its innovative features but also for potentially setting a new standard in Samsung software support and Android updates. The extension of software support could be a game-changer, enhancing the longevity and appeal of Samsung's smartphones in the competitive market.
