One gripe people have with Android smartphones and tablets is that they become obsolete within two to three years. That’s because most Android manufacturers end software support after that period. Things have been moving in the right direction recently and it looks like Samsung is about to step up the game big time with the Galaxy S22 series and the Tab S8 range.
Per a press release that was leaked today by respected tipster Evan Blass, Samsung’s forthcoming Tab S8 and Galaxy S22, as well as the Galaxy S21 range (including the S21 FE) and the Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 will get four OS updates and five years of security patches.

Google’s new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will also get five years of security updates, but only three OS updates. Honorable mention goes to OnePlus which announced in July of last year that all flagship phones from 2020’s OnePlus 8 will get three OS updates and four years of security patches.
