Samsung has made a surprising announcement, ending software support for three popular models in its Galaxy A and Galaxy M series. If you own a Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, Galaxy A41, or Galaxy M01, here’s what this means for you.
Samsung Discontinues Software Support for Three Smartphones
Samsung has decided to stop providing software updates for the Galaxy A51 5G, Galaxy A41, and Galaxy M01. This means users of these models will no longer receive new operating system updates or security patches. Your device will remain on its current operating system version indefinitely.
Impact on Samsung Galaxy A51 5G Users
The Galaxy A51 5G, launched in April 2020 with Android 10, has received updates up to Android 13. With the discontinuation of software support, this device will no longer receive any further updates or security patches, leaving it at risk of vulnerabilities over time.
Impact on Samsung Galaxy A41 Users
The Galaxy A41 was introduced to the market in May 2020 with Android 10 and has since been updated to Android 12. Similar to the Galaxy A51 5G, this model will no longer receive any new updates or security patches from Samsung.
Impact on Samsung Galaxy M01 Users
Launched in June 2020, the Galaxy M01 also started with Android 10 and has been updated to Android 12. With the end of support, users of this model will not get any further updates, meaning their devices will remain on the current Android version.
Time to Upgrade?
Samsung had initially promised four years of software and security updates for these models. Now that the support period has ended, users who desire the latest operating systems and security features will need to consider upgrading their smartphones.
