In Short:
- Samsung Galaxy A21s stops receiving updates after four years.
- Galaxy S22 series to get two more major Android updates (Android 15 & 16) with security patches until 2027.
End of the Road for Galaxy A21s Updates
The Galaxy A21s, released in 2020, is no longer receiving software updates from Samsung. This follows Samsung’s standard four-year update policy for most phones launched that year. While the phone will still function, it won’t receive the latest security patches and features. Upgrading to a newer device like the Galaxy A15, A25, or A35 is recommended for continued software support.
Galaxy S22 Still Going Strong
Despite its 2022 launch, the Galaxy S22 series remains a powerful and secure option. Samsung’s four-year update policy ensures two more major Android updates (Android 15 & 16) and security patches until 2027. While update rollout might be slower and some features exclusive to newer models, the S22 can still be a reliable daily driver for the next few years.
