Galaxy M04 will not get new OS versions anymore

Back in June, Samsung released Android 14-based One UI 6.1 to the Galaxy M04. It brought many new features to the smartphone that you can check out here.

Unfortunately, the company will not release major software updates to the smartphone anymore, including Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 or Android 15-based One UI 7.0 as the brand has already offered the two promised OS upgrades to the device.

The tech giant will, however, keep offering security updates to the Galaxy M04 for at least next three years. Currently, the phone is on a quarterly security update schedule, which means that it will get one security update every quarter.
