  "account": "After four years of updates and five years of security support, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 have officially reached their sunset. The foldables, which debuted in 2021, have been removed from Samsung's security updates page, a clear indication that their software support has ended. This decision aligns with Samsung's updated policy, which now offers quarterly updates for its foldables, beginning with the 2022 models. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, both released last year, have now been added to the list of devices that will continue to receive updates until their projected sunset in 2027. While the latest models such as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are the talk of the town, it's the older models that are facing the end of their road.",
