What you need to know is:

Samsung has released an update schedule for its latest phones.

Unexpectedly, the company will only provide complete software support for the S20 series and Galaxy Z Flip in the next two years.

After that, they will receive monthly security updates for a period of one year, followed by quarterly security releases for the fourth and final years.

Although the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Z Flip are one of the most expensive phones released by the company, Samsung has no plans to expand software support for these phones except for the usual two-year full support and two-year security updates, according to SamMobile.

In recent years, Samsung has made great progress in the speed of mobile phone updates. Although it used to be one of the slowest mobile phone makers to provide users with new software, it now often releases security updates for its phones every month, even before Google releases them for its Pixel line of products.

However, while the speed of providing updates is getting faster and faster, it is a pity that Samsung has not done much to improve the life of its phones. Over the years, the company has stuck to a two-year complete software support plan (which means it will provide security updates and Google's latest features), followed by monthly security updates for a year. All software support will end in the fourth year after the phone starts. At this point, security updates are released on a quarterly basis and then completely stopped.

As the company adds its 2020 flagship products to the list of devices that plan to receive monthly security updates, it is clear that the company is open as usual. Compared with previous flagship products, it is not intended to give special treatment to S20 or Z Flip. If it changes, it will almost certainly become a major part of its mobile marketing. But we didn't hear anything.

This means that Android 11 and Android 12 can be received because Android 10 is included in the phone, but in terms of major operating system updates, that's it. By contrast, one plus phones, which are usually much cheaper than the Galaxy series, can be updated for three years. The same is true of pixels. The grass in the apple walled garden is greener, and all iPhone promises major updates within five years.

There is no doubt that Samsung has made the best smartphone in the world. You could even say that it has the best Android series of all products. But if you really want to compete with competitors such as Apple or even one Plus, the South Korean giant does need to improve game performance in terms of ensuring the life of its devices. So far, it has refused to do so.
