Google hails Samsung for its great Android software support!

Samsung and Google are great partners. In a recent development, Google quoted Samsung in its MWC 2023 press release for delivering longer Android and software updates support.

Google announced new upgrades and features coming to Android and connected devices as part of the Spring feature drop. At the same time, the company proudly praised Samsung and some rivals for supporting OS updates longer.

“Across our partners, brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus and OPPO are committing to longer support of OS and security updates to extend the lifetime of your device,” said Google.

Google offers up to three years of OS updates and five years of regular security patches to Pixel devices. A step up, Samsung is committed to delivering 4 major Android and up to five years of security updates to Galaxy devices.

Flagship Galaxy devices starting the S21 series are eligible for up to four major OS upgrades. Meanwhile, Samsung is also offering the same support to select Galaxy A phones like the Galaxy A53, A73 and successors.

For flagship and select mid-range phones, Samsung rolls out monthly security patches to keep them secure against threats in Android and One UI. And most of the time, the company rolls out patches faster than the Android maker.

Rivals like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and OPPO have also extended their software support offering. However, the South Korean tech giant has proven that it’s the best after-sales service provider with fulfilling each promise.

Last but not least, Google’s routine Play System updates help bring critical security and privacy improvements. It ensures you can be in greater control of your data and protection through Android’s built-in security features.
