Samsung has announced that it will offer support for updates to new versions of Android for its Galaxy smartphones for the next 3 years: here are which ones they will be
The fragmentation of operating systems is one of the biggest problems of Android. If smartphone manufacturers usually guarantee to update to only two versions of Android, Samsung relaunches and offers for its Galaxy up to 3 years of updates of Google's operating system for mobile devices.
This is an announcement that Samsung made during the Unpacked event in August and that went almost unnoticed. But three years of upgrading Android to later versions is a move that is decidedly counter to that of other manufacturers. Usually these are in fact limited to only 2 years of updates, if not even for some smartphones to a single year of updating the operating system. This implies that going forward in years, some apps designed for later versions of Android will not run on the smartphone and it will easily become obsolete.
Samsung, Android updates for three generations
The announcement of the extension of Android updates for "three generations" by Samsung came quietly during the launch of the new Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphones. Garantire tre generazioni di aggiornamento, significa che se il Galaxy Note 20 è stato lanciato con Android 10 come sistema operativo, ne sarà garantito l’update almeno alla versione Android 13 quando arriverà.
Samsung, gli smartphone che saranno aggiornati
Gli aggiornamenti sono fondamentali affinché le prestazioni dello smartphone si conservino tali, le app possano funzionare al meglio e il telefono garantisca una buona esperienza utente anche dopo qualche anno di utilizzo. Samsung ha deciso di estendere l’aggiornamento del sistema operativo Android di tre generazioni a diversi smartphone Galaxy, non solo i suoi top di gamma. Nella lista mancano però gli smartphone delle serie Galaxy M, Galaxy J e Galaxy A, che probabilmente non usufruiranno di questa possibilità.
