Samsung is the best in the business when it comes to software updates. The brand is highly praised for offering long-term software updates, and that’s true even for budget phones. Still, even the most generous update policies eventually reach their conclusion — and that time has come for a few of Samsung’s devices.

As spotted by Sammobile, the company has removed four Galaxy smartphones from the official support list: Galaxy A52s, Galaxy A03s, Galaxy M32 5G, and Galaxy F42 5G. This means these Galaxy phones won’t receive major One UI upgrades as well as security patches. In fact, they stopped receiving OS updates long ago, and going forward, no new security updates will be provided to them.

All four Galaxy smartphones were released in the second half of 2021 and promised four years of security updates, which are now fulfilled. As a result, they have been added to the end-of-life (EOL) list.

If you own a Galaxy A52s, Galaxy A03s, Galaxy M32 5G, or Galaxy F42 5G, consider upgrading to a newer model. This ensures your device continues to receive the latest features and security patches, protecting you from various vulnerabilities. You can, however, continue to use any of these Galaxy smartphones. They would work just fine. However, I won’t recommend doing so, especially if the device contains sensitive data.

You can look at the list of Samsung devices that promise six major Android upgrades and seven major Android upgrades to find a reliable upgrade that stays relevant for the years to come.
