Samsung continues to support a range of older devices with Android 17 and One UI 9, including flagships like the Galaxy S23 series and foldables like the Fold 5 and Flip 5. The Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra will receive updates until February 2027, while the S22 and S21 FE 5G have already lost support. Budget models such as the Galaxy A15 and A24 are supported until late 2027, and the A54 5G until March 2027.
Tablets like the Galaxy Tab S9 series and wearables like the Galaxy Watch 5 also continue to receive updates through 2026 and beyond. Samsung’s support tiers vary: flagships get up to 7 years, mid-range 5–6 years, and budget models up to 4 years. If your device stops receiving updates, it becomes vulnerable to security threats and app incompatibility.
