As the new Samsung Galaxy S24 was recently launched, it comes with a titanium body and solid specifications with all AI support. But that’s not all.
In fact, Samsung used the new revelation to signal an important change in its policies regarding the Galaxy S24: like the Google Pixel 8, you’ll get more years of updates than usual.
So the expectation is that these devices will have a lot of improvements and will get longer support than the previous models. Let’s remember that the Galaxy S24 comes with Android 14 (under the One UI 6.1 customization layer) from the factory, which suggests that their major updates will end with Android 21 in 2031.
Galaxy S24 will receive “Android 21” along with other updates
Not to be left behind by Google, Samsung has increased its time in terms of support. The Google Pixel 8 was surprising at the time, with 8 to 7 years of support (with 3 or 4 major updates being the norm). In response, the South Korean company confirmed that they will have the same 7 years of updates, matching itself with the launch of the Galaxy S24.
This means that assuming this software is available at the time, the entire Galaxy S24 series will have 7 major updates, potentially reaching Android 21. All the security fixes that are offered to receive other minor updates are closely followed.
To sum it up, all the updates that the Samsung Galaxy S24 will receive will be:
Operating System: Android 15, Android 16, Android 17, Android 18, Android 19, Android 20 and possibly Android 21. Customization Layer: All versions of the same UI corresponding to Android updates. Security patches: Receive all security patches released until 2031.
Now that you know, you can be sure that the Galaxy S24 will be under the Samsung umbrella for many years to come. There are various news surrounding the new series that is here to stay as a strong contender in 2024.
