Samsung launched the Galaxy A51 in December 2019. It has been only a little over 2 years since its release.  Despite that, the South Korean tech giant has already reduced the frequency of software updates for this smartphone.

According to GalaxyClub, Samsung has demoted the Galaxy A51 to biannual updates. The device had been receiving quarterly updates since its release. But unfortunately, not anymore as it will only get two security updates in a year.

For those unaware, the phone is eligible for three generations of OS updates. However, it has received only one in the form of Android 11 for now. Before it could get Android 12, the company has lowered its update frequency.

This raises a doubt whether Samsung will be able to keep up with its promise of delivering three Android updates and four years of security updates for Galaxy A51. Hopefully, the firm doesn’t disappoint customers and fans alike.

The handset is scheduled to get access to Android 12-based One UI 4.0 in April. Perhaps, the brand might start seeding the update a month earlier in March, like it has been doing for other eligible devices.
