Samsung has taken a strong stance on security and is extending the security support for four years. The new change will be applicable for over 40 Galaxy smartphones and tablets that were launched since 2019. The company previously provided security updates for at least two years for most of its devices but the updates will now be delivered on a monthly or quarterly basis. The list of devices that are eligible for the four-year security updates includes 31 smartphones.
