Samsung typically supports its smartphones for 5 years, but the Galaxy Note 10 series launched in 2019 only received 3 major OS updates and 4 years of security updates. As of today, the Galaxy Note 10 series has reached the end of its software support. This means that these phones will no longer receive new operating system updates or security patches.
Samsung previously moved the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus to quarterly updates, meaning they were getting security matches every 3 months. Now, the Korean company has put an end to Note series software support altogether (via Sammobile). The two phones were launched in 2019 running Android 9 out of the box. Samsung later updated them to Android 10 in early 2020. The Android 11 update made its way to the phones in late 2021, and the Android 12 update in late 2022.
While this may be disappointing to some users, it is important to note that the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are still capable phones. They will continue to work as they did before, but they may be more vulnerable to security risks without the latest security updates. If you are concerned about security, you may want to consider upgrading to a newer phone that is still under software support.
Notably, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite will continue to receive quarterly security updates as it was launched later in 2020. Other models in the Note series, such as the Note 20 Ultra and Note 20, will receive updates until 2024, although no major Android releases are expected.
