Samsung can be reproached very little, rectius nulla, when it comes to software updates in the world of Android devices, however it would be unrealistic to expect equal support for more and less recent devices and here we are dealing with different models falling within this second grouping: Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung Galaxy S10 +, Samsung Galaxy S10e, Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy S9 + and Samsung Galaxy A50.
A few minutes ago we showed you all the details of Samsung's security patches for April 2022. Well, in the second part of that article, dedicated to the models that will get this month's SMR, some significant differences are noted compared to the similar lists of the previous month
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +: end of the line
First of all, Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 + have come to an end: after years of honored service, the brand's 2018 flagships are leaving and will no longer receive official software support.
The farewell was in the air, given that a year ago both were on the list of models receiving quarterly updates. In addition, the official Samsung page (available at this link, complete with complete lists) clearly speaks of guaranteed updates for a minimum of 4 years for some models launched starting from 2019 and 5 years of support for some more recent models. It follows that, from now on, owners of Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + will necessarily have to turn to the world of modding to obtain new software versions.
Samsung Galaxy S10 and A50: list change
The models of these series have not yet reached the end credits, but will have to endure the less frequent arrival of software updates.
As for the Galaxy S10 series, the change only affects the three models Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung Galaxy S10 + and Samsung Galaxy S10e, which will have quarterly updates from now on; while Samsung Galaxy S10 5G and Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will continue to receive monthly updates, at least for the moment.
Finally, Samsung Galaxy A50, which is part of the "Enterprise Models", in turn goes into the list of quarterly updates.
