If you have one of these six Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, you also have a new problem.
Although Samsung does a commendable job with after-sales support and updates for its Galaxy devices, the fact is that Now it’s the South Korean giant’s turn to retire some of its longest-lived and most affordable essential phones and tabletsofficially declaring a cease and desist 6 stations all launched in 2019 And intended for the middle and low ranges of the catalog.
It’s not something that should surprise us, actually, because despite the fact that it is Samsung announced the best support for the entire Android platform Last year I promised no less than 4 Major updates And 5 years of security updates for your devices, the truth is These phones and tablets are older and they were only 4 years old Committed support.

By not installing the security patches that Google publishes every month and that manufacturers apply for 1, 3 or 6 months depending on the ranges and models.
