Samsung Makes Android History With 3-Year Update Pledge

Today, Samsung treated us to yet another one of its Galaxy Unpacked events, which was an online-only thing for obvious reasons. While the event introduced numerous new eye-catching luxury mobile devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Note 20, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7 range, Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatches, and the Galaxy Buds Live wireless earbuds, perhaps the most impactful announcement of the day had little to do with new Samsung products and everything to do with old(er) ones.

The company casually mentioned it is extending its after-sales support policy to three major Android OS upgrades moving forward. Not every existing Galaxy device is included in the pledge, but many, if not most, are. Samsung is expected to publish a final list specifying every single model that will get three major Android updates in the coming weeks.

But moving forward, pretty much every new Galaxy device will get treated to three years’ worth of major updates, so actual, meaningful Android revisions, such as the incoming One UI 3.0 based on Android 11. This is a pretty historic moment altogether and one that might force Samsung’s rivals to follow suit. That kind of competitive pressure is always good news for smartphone fans.
