Samsung Considers Extending Security Updates to 5+ Years for Phones Amid Proposed EU Regulations

Samsung is considering offering more than 5 years of security updates for its phones.

This is likely in response to proposed EU regulations calling for at least 5 years of updates.

Samsung was previously the leader among Android brands for update policies.

The company isn't necessarily planning to extend OS updates beyond 4 years.

Longer security updates could be challenging due to reliance on chipsets from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
