Galaxy A15 is cheapest Samsung phone eligible for four major OS upgrades!

Last year, the Galaxy A24 became the cheapest Samsung phone to be promised four major OS upgrades, and the Galaxy A25 is also promised the same number of OS upgrades. But what you may have missed is that Samsung will also be providing the Galaxy A15 with four generations of OS upgrades!

Galaxy A15 will get four generations of OS upgrades, five years of security updates

What this means is that Samsung is now guaranteeing four Android OS upgrades to Galaxy smartphones at almost every price point, further increasing its lead over other Android phone makers. We're hoping the Korean giant will take some inspiration from Google's bonkers 7-years-of-OS-updates policy in the future, but it probably isn't in a rush to do that considering how many devices Samsung has to support every year.

In addition to going all the way up to Android 18, the Galaxy A15 will receive security updates for five years. As of December 27, Samsung hasn't officially revealed how frequently the A15 will receive security updates, but we can expect it to get them every three months from day one similar to other budget Galaxy smartphones.

Author's note: The Galaxy A15 runs One UI 6.0 out of the box, not One UI 6.1. One UI 6.1 is likely to start arriving on other smartphones only after its debut on the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024.
