For its recent phones, Samsung is promising four years of Android OS updates and five years of security updates. However, the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Fold 5G, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are older devices, and they have already received three Android OS updates. They won't get the Android 14-based One UI 6 update which is expected to be released later this year.
