Enterprise editions of new Samsung tablets get 8 years of updates!

If you were impressed by Samsung's commitment to providing OS and security updates to the Galaxy S24 lineup for seven years, wait till you hear about what the company has in store for enterprise editions of Galaxy tablets.

Eight years of OS and security updates for enterprise edition tablets

A Samsung executive from the Netherlands has revealed on LinkedIn that the enterprise edition of the Galaxy Tab Active 5 will get OS and security updates for eight years! The Galaxy Tab Active 5 went official in early January this year, and the standard non-enterprise model is only guaranteed four major OS updates and five years of security updates.

8 years of updates enterprise Galaxy devices

Samsung is no stranger to supporting enterprise devices for longer. A few years back, when it extended support for security updates to four years for flagship and select mid-range phones and tablets, Samsung promised five years of security updates to enterprise editions of those devices.

But this is the first time the company is committing to both extended OS and security updates for enterprise edition devices. The commitment is also limited to tablets – phones, like the recently launched Galaxy Xcover 7, get the same seven-year policy as the Galaxy S24.

Devices launched before 2024 are excluded as well, so the Galaxy Tab Active 5 Enterprise Edition is the only device on the eligibility list for now. Since Samsung doesn't launch many enterprise variants of its devices anymore, that list will likely remain small even a few years from now. We'll let you know if anything changes, though, so stay tuned!
