Time may be up for Samsung Galaxy Watch extended software support
Samsung is reportedly considering ending OS upgrades on older Galaxy Watches.
Samsung is reportedly contemplating the end of major software upgrades for older Galaxy Watches, according to a leak. While security updates will persist as planned, the leaker suggests that Samsung may cease OS upgrades for older models. Galaxy Watches have long struggled with performance issues and bugs, with some models overheating and causing burns, while others charge slowly due to thermal throttling.
This new rumor raises concerns for Galaxy Watch owners who have invested in older models, as they may soon be left without access to the latest software features and security patches. However, the leaker does not specify which specific Galaxy Watch models are at risk of losing OS upgrades.
