Samsung's Galaxy devices once offered remarkably long software support, with newer flagships receiving up to seven years of updates and mid-range models up to six. However, older phones from 2021 to 2023 are now nearing the end of their promised support. Samsung does not publish an official list of these end dates, which are instead based on original launch dates and the company's update policies.
Devices like the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are close to their final software updates, with Samsung moving their security updates to quarterly intervals. The Galaxy S22 series and S21 FE are also currently on Samsung's quarterly security updates. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold4, Z Flip4, and S23 series remain on Samsung's monthly update schedule as of August 2026.
Once updates cease, a Galaxy phone will continue functioning normally, but users will miss out on new Android and One UI versions. Crucially, when security support ends, Samsung will stop providing regular patches for newly discovered security vulnerabilities. While Samsung occasionally releases updates after a device's regular support period, these dates should be seen as expected cutoffs rather than absolute final update dates.
