Samsung is one of the Android makers that fare better if we talk about system updates. Normally these are classified as disaster due to the lack of support time given to the teams, but not in the case of the Korean firm.
However, like everything in life, what has a beginning has an end. And this is the case with support for devices as important as the Samsung Galaxy S10 or the Galaxy A50. These laptops say goodbye to updatessaying goodbye to new features or additions forever.
Samsung updates support website saying goodbye to the Galaxy S10
This news is given by a change in the official page of Samsung where it informs us of the updates of its mobiles. As we can see in this names do not appear phones as popular as those belonging to the Galaxy S10 series.
After four years on the market, it’s time for them to move on to a better life, even if they continue to offer performances suitable for the vast majority of users. Samsung had been updating these terminals for four years, without missing your appointment every month with security fixes. True, in the fourth year he changed the frequency of updates to one per quarter.
Now even this will not remain, because the Korean manufacturer has removed them from the list. Therefore, they ended their support with Android 12 and One UI 4.1, along with the March patch. This does not mean that on certain occasions, be extraordinarily updated to fix a critical failure or security breach, as has happened from time to time.
The same goes for the Samsung Galaxy A50which has seen three years of regular updates and one of quarterly updates, however, this will remain on a slightly older version of Android, Android 11.
Goodbye Galaxy S10. The Galaxy S10 Lite is saved from burning.
We have an exception in the Galaxy S10 Lite, which came out a year later and still present in the document. It therefore still has a year of guaranteed updates, allowing it to take advantage of the advantages of One U 5.1.
If you still use some of these devices you shouldn’t put your hands on your head: will continue to work as before. What we should consider is a change of terminal in the short term, since we would be more exposed to malware threats due to the lack of security patches.
