Software updates software updates are a somewhat controversial topic for many Android smartphone users, especially since the corresponding update policies of the most important manufacturers have been put in place most important manufacturers can be very different. Thankfully, South Korean tech giant Samsung has become a frontrunner in this regard, and now there’s even more good news for Galaxy S20 Ultra owners who haven’t yet updated.
As stated by the German website Teltarif and other outletsdevices over three years old still receive monthly Android security patches, which is not in line with Samsung’s update policy. Officially, the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus et S20 Ultraare supposed to receive only one software update per quarter after March 2023, but smartphone security patches for April, May and June 2023 have already been rolled out to most regions.
Therefore, Samsung exceeds its update promisewhich was improved a few years ago and now guarantees five years of security patches for many smartphones from 2021, such as the current one Galaxy S23. On the other hand, the Galaxy S20 Ultra and its smaller cousins are still part of the previous update program, which only provided four years of software support. It remains to be seen whether this shorter-than-expected interval for security patches heralds another improvement in Samsung’s update policy, which could for example apply to the latest model in the beloved range, the Galaxy Note which is also approaching its final year of software support.
