According to HT's sister website Mint, which cited a report by Android headlines, the lineup could also receive support for OS (operating system) upgrades for a similar duration. In both cases, therefore, the brand's upcoming flagship smartphones, would be eligible for updates up to Android version 21.
Since 2020, Samsung, the South Korea-based phone maker, has been offering four years of OS upgrades and five years of security updates, for its flagship and select mid-range handsets.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is likely to feature three models, namely, S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra.
