I agree that having new os versions supported for longer than 3-4 years would be good, but at least it looks like they will be supporting security updates for longer now, 6 years of security upgrades if I'm not mistaken.
- dogma1138 6y agoHow will they support security updates for 6 years when Google isn’t supporting that? Google usually deprecates support after 2-3 years. Also some security fixes require new kernels so there’s that. For Samsung to do that they’ll essentially will have to fork Android.
- botto 6y agoSo they are supporting three generations of android version, so if a phone comes out on 8, that means it will receive major upgrades to 10, so that's 3 years there and then Google seem to support 3 more years of security of 10 after it comes out. I'm aware android 8 is old now, just using it as an example.
