[Q] Software Update

[Gaelio]

With the recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked 2022, it is said that Samsung is stepping up their game with software update support. From 3 major os updates to 4 major os updates for flagship devices and some selected midrange devices. The question is, by chance, will some of the A series device launched and sold last year be a part of the 4 major os update by Samsung or we just have to find out during the long run?

I think we just have to find out in the long run. But here's to hoping A users would be included!

Most likely, either way I can build a ROM from source in a matter of days but that's outside Samsung's scope as it's going to be considered an aftermarket OS(Android skin)

According to rumors, there will be 4 years of Android upgarde support and 5 years of regular security updates to the following devices:

S22, s22+, s22 ultra, tab s8, tab s8+, s22, s21+, s21 ultra, s21 fe, z fold3, z flip3

Also, expected to be included are note20, note20 ultra, s20, s20+, s20 ultra, s20 fe

Of course, flagship devices would receive such treatment. We have yet to find out if the midrangers would have the same treatment

One thing is official, that those devices bearing android 9 will now have 3 mpre major updates support.

I doubt. My galaxy A50 which ship android 9 out of the box was stuck to one ui 3.1

We can only just wait for the final list. 😄

[Gaelio]

That's probably the game we play🥲🤣

I've read somewhere—on some random techy site—that Galaxy A series will also be included. However, still not an official announcement from Samsung, so let's just wait! 🤞
