Samsung announced during its Galaxy Unpacked event yesterday, August 5, that it will be delivering three years of Android updates for its flagship smartphones. Initially, the company had stated that it would offer two years of updates to its phones, causing outrage among its customers. Now, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S10 and beyond, Samsung flagship owners will get new Android versions for three years after launch. This is limited to the company's smartphones for now and the update situation with its tablets is still unclear.

At the time of announcement, a barely legible disclaimer on the bottom stated: “Availability of feature and security updates may vary by device and country. Update supported for flagship models fromGalaxy S10(Android 9) or later.” This tells us that Samsung's flagships starting with the Galaxy S10 and beyond will now get three years of Android updates. This comes as great news to all Samsung customers, especially the Galaxy S10 owners who were initially promised only two years of updates. Of course, this applies to the newly announcedSamsung Galaxy Note 20series as well.
