Samsung Galaxy S24 phones will receive updates until 2031

For the longest time, Apple has been the standard bearer when it comes to keeping phones up to date. In recent years, it has provided its iPhones with six iOS version updates, besting much of the Android space easily. That’s not to say its biggest competitors have been slacking off: Google, OnePlus, and Samsung have all committed their flagship devices to four or more years of OS updates and five or more of security patches. But at its Galaxy S24 event today, Samsung pledged to do even better.
