If long-term software support is high on your checklist, Samsung’s latest lineup has something to say. From premium flagships to entry-level workhorses, every phone mentioned here offers a minimum of four years of Android and security updates—a rare feat in today’s Android ecosystem. These are our top picks in Samsung for some of the best software and OS update cycles.
Galaxy S24 FE (Price: Starting at ₹38,049)
First up, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE—the near-flagship that undercuts its pricier sibling without skimping on performance. Powered by the Exynos 2400e, it features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, a triple-lens camera setup (including a real 3x telephoto lens), and a 4,700 mAh battery with 25W fast charging.
But the standout here is longevity: seven years of software updates. That’s iPhone-level commitment in an Android phone—a rare, industry-shifting move.
Galaxy A56 (Price: Starting at ₹38,999)
Sliding into the mid-range, the Galaxy A56 offers more than just looks. With a glass back, slim bezels, and a crisp 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, it’s powered by the Exynos 1580, and features a 50MP triple-camera setup and 45W fast charging. The device runs on Android 15 and gets six years of software support—a figure that was once unthinkable for phones in this category.
Galaxy M56 (Price: Starting at ₹27,999)
Samsung’s latest in the M-series, the Galaxy M56, is designed for durability without bulk. At just 7.2mm, it features Gorilla Glass Victus+, a 6.7-inch AMOLED+ panel, and runs on the Exynos 1480. The software support? Six years, just like the A56. And if you binge content on the go, that large screen and 5,000 mAh battery won’t let you down.
Galaxy M35 (Price: Starting at ₹14,397)
An older but still relevant choice, the Galaxy M35 brings a 6.6-inch AMOLED screen, a massive 6,000 mAh battery, and decent optics via its 50MP triple-camera. Backed by four years of Android updates, it’s a no-fuss option for users who want something solid and reliable without breaking the bank.
Galaxy F06 (Price: Starting at ₹9,199)
And finally, there’s the Galaxy F06. Priced under ₹10,000, it runs on Dimensity 6300, has a 50MP camera, and comes with Android 15 pre-installed. But perhaps its most surprising feature is the four years of OS updates, something you’d rarely expect at this price point.
Samsung’s extended update policy now covers more than just its premium range. By offering long-term software support across devices at every price point, it’s aligning product longevity with user expectations—and possibly signalling where the industry is headed next.
