It still remains to be proven in practice. Their past track record shows that even for higher end devices the promised monthly updates silently become quarterly, or get delayed or mysteriously disappear as soon as the next year devices hit the shelves.
- spacehunt 5y agoDo you have proof? My Note 20 Ultra (released in 2020) received 3 updates in the past 35 days -- and this is for a region that's trailing Europe and the US in terms of updates. https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N9860/TGY/doc.html https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N9860/TGY/doc.html

- spacehunt 5y agoI have the S9 too. What was unexpected was that it still received monthly updates for 3 years and then down to quarterly updates after that. (Samsung did not promise anything and the usual practice was updates for 2 years *at the time when I bought it*). S9: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G9600/TGY/doc.html https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G9600/TGY/doc.html Note 9: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N9600/TGY/doc.html https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N9600/TGY/doc.html You can see they still received updates this month.
