Samsung’s four-year security update plan explained
Now, Samsung has updated the page with information about its security patches. How often the phones will end up being updated in the lower ranges. The answer is that these devices will be updated every 2 years.
South Korean company has raised the security bar for its devices, promising four years of security patches. Although they will arrive less or more frequently depending on which smartphone we are talking about.
Obviously, high-end and foldable smartphones will receive monthly security patches, while mid-range devices will receive them once a quarter. When phones reach the third year, they will begin to receive security updates less frequently and, during the fourth year of support, they will receive two patches per year.
