Owners of branded smartphones Samsung they must pay attention to their devices, because soon some of these will no longer receive the updates necessary to continue performing. The South Korean multinational is gradually abandoning some more obsolete models, and is now preparing to leave four others behind.
This is not a policy adopted only by Samsung, many electronic device manufacturers, having reached a certain point, must necessarily abandon some products in order to dedicate themselves to new ones, releasing updates and resolutions of any problems. It is then, obviously, a strategy to entice customers to purchase a new product. The problem is that when a mobile phone no longer receives updates (especially those relating to security) it becomes easy prey for hackers. Lacking updates with new functions, it becomes obsolete and, in a short time, unusable. The owners of the phones, in essence, are effectively excluded. The need to change devices becomes urgent.
The next Samsung smartphones that will be “abandoned” by the parent company are the Galaxy A52sThe Galaxy A03sThe Galaxy M32 5G and the Galaxy F42. Anyone who owns one of these models must necessarily prepare themselves for having to use a less performing mobile phone, and at the risk of external attacks. After the update stops, the phones will still be able to be used for everyday use, but they will be increasingly limited. The advice is to calmly start evaluating other models.
A smartphone deprived of security updates it is not a safe device, therefore, no matter how fond you may be of a certain model, it is necessary to change as soon as possible.
As for the
Samsung Galaxy S21 FEit seems that updates have been slowed down (but not blocked) for this product. This smartphone will remain monitored until 2027, then we will probably see it leave the scene.
