Some older Samsung Galaxy devices will keep receiving Android operating system updates in 2026, but support periods vary widely by product line, the report said. Engadget said Samsung’s flagships can get up to 7 years of OS updates, mid-range phones 5 to 6 years and entry-level models about 4 years. Older models often keep security patches longer than OS upgrades. Users are advised to check support status themselves and consider remaining support when buying used devices.

SK Telecom launched its dedicated Galaxy Quantum7 handset on Monday, featuring near-flagship performance and a slim design. The device is 6.9 mm thick and weighs 179 grams, making it the thinnest and lightest in the Quantum series. It supports 45W fast charging and is priced at 717,200 won. The phone adds a new AI voice transcription and translation feature and includes other AI tools. It is available through SKT channels in three colors.
