Google announced in October 2023 that its Pixel 8 series smartphones will get 7 years of Android updates. This was simply unheard of in the smartphone market, exceeding even Apple’s 5-year commitments for iPhones and iPads.

Samsung appears to be taking notice of this development. A recent report by Android Headlines suggests the upcoming Galaxy S24 series may also receive 7 years of updates.

This move, if true, would significantly extend the lifespan of these devices, potentially lasting from Android 14 (expected on launch) all the way up to Android 21. 

The publication, however, didn’t confirm if this includes just security updates or the full Android/One UI/feature package, but we’re hopeful it’s the latter.

Samsung will officially unveil the Galaxy S24 series on January 17. And, with the launch date approaching, we should soon find out if these long-term update plans are indeed true.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series specifications

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 lineup boasts upgrades across the board, starting with a smoother 120Hz AMOLED display on all models. The base S24 sports a 6.2-inch FHD+ panel and Exynos 2400 chip (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in some regions), while the Plus model steps up with a larger 6.7-inch QHD+ display and the same chip options. 

Both share a triple-camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto) and 25W wired and 15W wireless charging.

The S24 Ultra stands out with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 everywhere, a flatter 6.8-inch QHD+ display, and a quad-camera system headlined by a 200MP sensor. 

It also packs a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, an S Pen stylus, and a larger 5000mAh battery with 45W wired charging. All three models boast Gorilla Glass Victus, IP68 water resistance, and Samsung DeX support.
