The deployment of Android 14 has been highly anticipated for a few days. Unfortunately, it offers other restrictions. Samsung Galaxy smartphones will not benefit from the update. Discover the complete list in a few lines below.
Android 14, a long-awaited update
The development of Android 14 is underway and promises many new features for users. Moreover, in some time, they will be able to benefit from a big update of the operating system.
However, according to the latest news, not everyone can enjoy this advantage and will not be able to take advantage of all these new features. Some smartphones have now reached the limit of software support.
Concretely, Samsung Galaxy users should skip Android 14. Older smartphones are the most affected because they have reached their deadline.
For information, the Korean firm has decided to revise the duration of this 4-year support for some models. But old smartphones prior to the Galaxy S21 FE will therefore go their way for the update with Android 14.
The list of Samsung Galaxy smartphones that will not benefit from the update
Some Samsung Galaxy smartphones will therefore no longer be eligible to access Android 14. Those who will not be able to receive this update are the models Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Z Fold 2.
The list continues with Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Galaxy A22, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A51 et enfin Galaxy A71.
A few tablets will also not receive the update to Android 14 which are the Galaxy Tab A8, Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, Galaxy Tab S26 Lite et Galaxy Tab S7 et Galaxy Tab S7+.
Note that devices older than these lists will also not be able to receive new updates. Moreover, this does not in any way mean that your smartphone is obsolete.
However, Samsung still offers 5 years of security patch to guarantee the devices. But the little problem is that if your phone is on this list, you won’t be able to take advantage of the latest features offered by Android 14.
