Google surprised the tech world when it announced that the Pixel 8 series would have seven years of software support. They are not only talking about security patches but also operating system updates. It looks like Samsung is following Google's lead as the upcoming Galaxy S24 series may also get support for up to seven years.

By comparison, Android will run out of letters before support for the Pixel 8 line is discontinued. This is said to be Google's answer to Samsung providing four operating system upgrades and five years of security updates for high-end Galaxy phone models starting in 2020.

The Galaxy S24 can get seven years of software support

After CES 2024, the Galaxy S24 series will be the focus of the technology world. They will bring us the best hardware components today. However, software support time is also very important, especially for thousand-dollar phone models.

Samsung understood this when it announced five years of software support. According to a new leak, though, it looks like Samsung will raise that number to seven years.

Whenever it comes to software support, one must always distinguish between security patches and operating system updates. According to sources, it seems that Samsung will upgrade the operating system of the Galaxy S24 series seven times. In other words, they will experience Android 21.

Note that this is not official information. We will soon know the truth on January 18. Although the performance of the latest high-end Snapdragon and Exynos processors may not be much, this deficiency can be completely compensated for by Galaxy AI.
