Even though Google releasing android versions to sync with timely updates and new phone launches, Samsung I think goofed up and might make Android 15 a short lived update especially with Android 16 release on the horizon.
Samsung is aiming for a quick rollout of Android 16 after experiencing delays with the Android 15 (One UI 7) update, so the Android 15 update for some devices may indeed be short-lived, but that is not the intent, but rather an unintended consequence of the rapid succession of Android versions and Samsung's efforts to catch up. 

Why Samsung is Rushing Android 16
  • Delayed Android 15 Rollout:
    Samsung had a notoriously slow rollout for Android 15, with some devices not receiving the update until long after it was released by Google. 
     
  • Focus on Speed:
    Samsung is trying to avoid repeating this mistake by getting the Android 16 update out quickly for its devices. 
     
What This Means for Samsung Users 
 
  • Faster Updates for Newer Models:
    Newer Samsung flagship models are already seeing the Android 16 update, with Samsung also working to make the One UI 8 deployment as seamless as possible for its latest devices.
  • Shorter Android 15 Life for Some:
    For phones that received Android 15, the update may be very short if they are quickly updated to Android 16.
Impact on Your Device 
 
  • Device-Specific Timelines:
    The timeframe for when your Samsung device receives the Android 16 update will depend on the device and the rollout plan.
