Now the company has decided to give some of its Enterprise Edition devices even longer support.<\/p>\n<p>Tablets launched in 2024 or later will receive 8 years of support. Currently, this boils down to just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_tab_active5-12785.php\">Galaxy Tab Active5<\/a>, which launched in January, but there will be new models going forward, of course.<\/p>\n<p>For Enterprise phones like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_xcover7-12784.php\">Galaxy Xcover7<\/a>, Samsung will provide 7 years of support, just like the S24 series for consumers. Note that at launch the Tab Active and the Xcover were only promised 4 OS updates and 5 years of support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/03\/samsung-enterprise-tablets-8-years-support\/popup\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_001.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Enterprise devices: 8 years of support for new tablets\" width=\"228\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/03\/samsung-enterprise-tablets-8-years-support\/popup\/-x279\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/03\/samsung-enterprise-tablets-8-years-support\/popup\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Enterprise devices: 7 years for new phones (2024 and newer)\" width=\"394\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/03\/samsung-enterprise-tablets-8-years-support\/popup\/-x279\/gsmarena_002.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Enterprise devices: 8 years of support for new tablets \u2022 7 years for new phones (2024 and newer)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This news was shared on LinkedIn by a Samsung exec from the Netherlands. It\u2019s not clear whether this will trickle down to consumer tablets, but Galaxy S phones going forward already match the 7 years of the Xcover. It\u2019s tablets that are the issue \u2013 even premium slates like the Galaxy Tab S9 series only get 4 OS updates and 5 years of patches. That was the case for the 2023 Galaxy S phones too, maybe the Tab S10 series (coming later this year) will also be bumped up to 7 (or maybe 8?) years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/andyrottiers_itmanagers-samsung-securitypatches-activity-7176230955248943106-69Bo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a> (login required) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-enterprise-editions-eight-years-os-security-updates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Via 1<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheGalox_\/status\/1770652826693202269\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Via 2<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_commits_to_8_years_of_support_for_enterprise_tablets_7_years_for_enterprise_phones-news-62099.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] With the launch of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung extended the software support for certain phones to 7 years (both OS updates and security<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215657,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215656"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":335322,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215656\/revisions\/335322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
