Whether we opt for a high-end, mid-range or entry-level phone, we will always want it to last for several years. In this sense, it is always a good idea to opt for a Samsung phone, since it is one of the manufacturers that takes the most care of its update system. It will depend on the model we choose, but whatever it is, we will have lots of years with guaranteed updates.
The Galaxy S24 or the new foldables, for example, They have seven years of guaranteed updates. Be careful, because there is no need to go high-end for the same thing: the Galaxy A16 has six years of coverage. However, time passes and from this same month of December there is a Galaxy that will no longer receive updates.
The Galaxy A52 5G says goodbye to updates
As we explained above, depending on the Samsung device we have, we will have a specific number of years with updates. The easiest way to know if we're going to receive an update or not is to check the Samsung Mobile Security page, where the company adds information about its new patches month by month.
As Sammy Fans explains, the South Korean firm updated this page today and added the information corresponding to the new December security patch. This, which has not yet been deployed on any device, will be accompanied by six critical security fixesas well as many others of lesser importance.
In addition to the fixes, Samsung is also specifying which phones will receive them in the coming weeks. Among them, the most notable absence is the Galaxy A42 5G, a device launched on the market more than four years ago and which, unfortunately, you will stop receiving these types of updates.
The device arrived when a great mid-range optionwith autonomy to give and give and a camera system that didn't do it badly at all. If we still use it and are satisfied with its performance, don't worry: we will be able to continue using it without any problems.
Note that the device will continue to receive fixes from Google Play, as well as updates to the applications we have installed. In this way, we will always have a secure phone even if you no longer have access to Samsung's monthly updates.
