Samsung Galaxy S23 phones will receive updates until 2028

The Samsung Galaxy S23 debuted with Android 13 and One UI 5.1 preinstalled. Later, other phones of the company will receive this interface, but the Galaxy S23 itself will be updated for a very long time.
The company guarantees four major updates, which means that any model of the Galaxy S23 line will receive Android 17. But even after that, support will not stop – Samsung will release security updates for the Galaxy S23. First monthly, then quarterly. And only in 2028, software support for the Galaxy S23 will be terminated.
Samsung’s longevity of software support is unmatched by any other Android smartphone manufacturer. Even Google only guarantees three big Android updates for its current flagships Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

In at least one way, the Galaxy S23 is definitely inferior to the iPhone 14 and Huawei Mate 50. The latest Samsung flagships do not support satellite communications

According to rumors, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 phones were supposed to be the first in the company’s range to support satellite communications. A few hours ago, the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra were officially presented – not a word was said about satellite communications support. Later, the situation was explained by the mobile division of Samsung, Tae Moon Ro (TM Roh).
According to the top manager, satellite communication technology is not yet mature enough for its mass implementation. “When the time is right and the infrastructure and technology is ready, then of course for Samsung Galaxy, for our mobile division, we will also actively consider implementing this feature.“, – he said.
It is not clear what technology should be in order for it to be worthy of Samsung phones, but neither Apple nor Huawei were embarrassed by the limited data transmission capabilities in the satellite communication channel. Moreover, according to rumors, Huawei will soon introduce Mate X3 with support for second-generation satellite technology – much more functional.
