This is usual for Samsung, and the company updates its software release frequency for Galaxy phones and tablets every few months, depending on the original release dates of those devices. Samsung is currently the best in software update support in the Android realm.

Usually, the company offers two years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates for low-end devices. The company offers three major OS updates and five years of security updates for most mid-range phones. For high-end phones and tablets, Samsung offers four years of Android OS updates and five years of security updates.
