With a reasonably clear Android update policy, Samsung phones are covered by some of the best promises regarding new system versions, and recently, even getting them before the competition in the intermediate and low-end markets.

It is worth noting that the Galaxy Note range is scheduled to stay on Android 13, with security updates throughout 2023. The same is true for devices like the Galaxy S20, Flip, and Fold families. On the other hand, new models launched in 2023 should be eligible for Android 14.

That's all. Remember that Samsung only tends to confirm the devices they will update after launching the next One UI version—presumably One UI 6. After which the Samsung Members app is updated with a notification on not only the list of devices but also the expected timeframe for each of them in the different regions.

Until then, be sure to bookmark this page and check for updates. Did we forget a model? What do you expect from the One UI 6+Android 14 combo? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

  All signs indicate that only the a13 models will be updated.
  
  But Samsung has yet to confirm the official list of models, so keep checking.

If Samsung is sticking to its policy of four years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates wouldn't that include the Note20 and S20?

  As far as I understood, at the time of the "4 years"announcement, that policy wasn't extended to the S20 and note20.
