Samsung: extend the device support cycle and change the accelerated version outside. More than 40 devices have been upgraded to Android 13 / OneUI 5.

CTOnews.com, December 6 (Xinhua): Samsung is undoubtedly the leader in the Android lineup when it comes to system version changes. Samsung announced in 2019 that it was the first manufacturer to commit to providing three-generation Android updates for midrange and flagship models, and then extended the support program to four generations, setting a precedent in the Android camp.

Under the leadership of Samsung, one plus recently announced that it will provide four generations of Android version updates for phones, as well as an additional security update for one year. While extending the support cycle of the device, Samsung is also accelerating the change of product versions.

As of December, more than 40 Galaxy phones had deployed Android 13 / OneUI 5 updates, far more than other Android phone manufacturers.

Samsung's previous Android versions have usually focused on high-end models. Samsung will focus on the Galaxy S, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Z series until 2022, which will be released in the same year as major Android updates, while mid-and low-end models will be launched next year.

But Samsung changed its update strategy in 2022, and the upgrade of Samsung devices to Android 13 / OneUI 5.0 was frequently seen in previous reports on CTOnews.com. And new devices upgrade to Android 13 almost every day. In addition to the flagship Galaxy S series, models such as the Galaxy A22 5G and the Galaxy M33 5G have also been upgraded.
