- Samsung is apparently thinking about offering more than five years of security updates.
- The company reportedly wants to up the ante due to new regulations.
Google upped the ante in a big way last week when it confirmed that the Pixel 8 phones would receive seven years of OS and security updates. This promise handily beats Samsung, which was the previous leader among major Android brands as far as update policies were concerned.
Now, it sounds like Samsung is thinking about delivering a longer security update pledge than it currently offers. Samsung executive Shin-Chul Baik told SamMobile that the company was “actively discussing” more than five years of security updates for its phones.
