JAKARTA - Samsung is known as one of the Android brands with the support of the best software updates, but that support doesn't last forever. Every few months, this South Korean company secretly stops supporting updates for a number of older models and this time, four mid-range Galaxy phones have been officially discontinued from the list of updates.

This means that these four phones will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes, marking the end of Samsung's software support. If you're still using Galaxy phones released a few years ago, see the list below who knows it's time for you to consider an upgrade.

Galaxy F22

Galaxy M32

Galaxy M42 5G

All of these phones were launched in 2021, and at that time they were promised to get twice the large Android upgrade and four-year security patches. They have received Android 13 as the last major update about two years ago. Now, even the security patches have been discontinued.

Although mobile phones like the Galaxy A22 and the like will still function normally, but without a security patch, they become more vulnerable to newly discovered security loopholes. If you store important data in your neck like financial information, personal data, or important accounts should start considering upgrading to a newer model with long-term support.

The good news is that now it's not just the Samsung flagship phones that have long support. The latest Galaxy S series offers up to seven years of Android updates and security patches, making it one of the best supports in the Android world.

Even Samsung's newest mid-range phones are now starting to get up to six major Android updates and six years of security patches are much better than the previous generation which only got two major updates and four patch years.
