How many software updates does Samsung provide to flagship devices?

As we’ve found out from a previous Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this year, Samsung provides three years of software updates to its flagship devices, and five years of security updates. This altogether adds up to five years of support, even if that means no guaranteed software updates for the last two remaining years of the product’s life.

How many years of software updates will the Galaxy Z Flip 3 receive?

Samsung has confirmed it will provide three years of software updates to its latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable smartphone. That’s certainly flagship territory and one that should please most Samsung fans and users out there. It’s great to know the company is taking software updates seriously, and it shows by committing to providing three years of support.

How many years of security updates will the Galaxy Z Flip 3 receive?

Samsung also mentions that along with providing three years of software updates to the Galaxy Z Flip 3, it will also provide five years of security updates. That means the device will have a shelf life of at least five years, as it will continue to receive critical bug fixes and security patches to keep it safe from malware and other hacks.
