The South Korean tech giant announced three major OS upgrades for the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 in August 2020. The same treatment has been promised to the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 handsets in 2021, while the company revised its policy last year.

In February 2022, Samsung announced that flagship devices from the Galaxy S21 series will have support for up to four Android OS updates and five years of security patches. Apart from premium ones, the company had also promised the same support for Galaxy A54 and A74 along with their future sequels.

The Galaxy A74 is reportedly dead, while the Galaxy A34 will be announced alongside the Galaxy A54 5G. Since the A34 is an affordable phone, Samsung may not give four OS updates to the device in order to achieve more sales of the A54 as well as keep a certain gap.

It means the Galaxy A54 5G will be the only Samsung mid-range phone supported for 4 Android OS updates, announced in 2023. Since the device is ready to debut with Android 13-based One UI 5.1 pre-installed, it will be eligible for major upgrades up to Android 17, starting with the v14.

Earlier, Chinese smartphone vendors like Oppo and OnePlus announced bringing four OS updates to their flagship models launched in 2023. It shows how rivals worry about Samsung’s lead in after-sales support and the best Android distribution along with longer support.

If you don’t want to spend your money on a premium Galaxy S23, the Galaxy A54 is the perfect choice with the same software support.
