Samsung has officially launched its 2025 flagship series, the Galaxy S25. The new series boasts many improvements and features. For users looking to invest in a device for the long term, extended software support is just crucial as top-tier specifications. So how many updates will the Galaxy S25 series receive? Letโ€™s find out.

Last year, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S24, it surpassed its competitors and became the second Android phone brand to offer seven years of OS updates for its flagship series. The promise remains on par with the latest announcements from Google and Apple even a year later.

Does the new Galaxy S25 series also come with the same lucrative extended update support as its predecessor, or does it fall behind? Has Samsung increased the Android update support for the Galaxy S25? All your questions are going to be answered here.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Update Policy

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is eligible for 7 years of Android OS updates, which is the same as the Galaxy S24 series. All the models in the Galaxy S25 series runs on Android 15-based One UI 7. This means the series will receive updates up to Android 22 and One UI 14, if the naming goes in order.

The Galaxy S25 lineup is also eligible for seven years of security updates. The update frequency depends on various factors, including your carrier, region, model, and more. Typically, Samsung releases updates every month.

There are a few select countries that are Samsung’s favorites, where users get updates first. These include South Korea, the USA, India, Germany, China and Poland. However, other regions donโ€™t lag far behind.

Are 7 Android OS Updates Enough for Users?

Seven generations of Android OS updates are more than enough for most users. By the time the update support ends, the device’s hardware may not meet the demands of daily tasks effectively. Even five OS upgrades are enough.

There arenโ€™t many phones that come with seven years of Android OS updates. Among Android brands, only Google offers this many years of OS updates, excluding Samsung. Google was the first to announce seven years of OS upgrade, starting with the Pixel 8 series.

Talking about older flagship Galaxy devices, the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 are eligible for four major OS updates. This means, after the One UI 7 update, the Galaxy S21 will no longer receive major OS upgrades.

Thatโ€™s all about the Android update support for the Galaxy S25 series. If you plan to keep your phone for several years, the Galaxy S25 series won’t disappoint, as you will get up-to-date UI and performance till next seven years. The device is currently available for pre-orders and will officially release on February 7.
