Samsung’s new tablet promised more updates than Galaxy S24 in now-deleted post،
One of the most brag-worthy features of the iPhone was that it had updates for over six years. This advantage no longer exists. Indeed, the latest phones from Google and Samsung will benefit from updates for seven years. And if a now-deleted post is any guide, Samsung has expanded its support even further.
Galaxy Tab Active 5 Enterprise Edition will receive support for eight years
That's according to a LinkedIn post from the Samsung-centric outlet SamMobile spotted. A Samsung official wrote that the enterprise edition of the Galaxy Tab Active 5 will receive more updates than the Galaxy S24. The device will receive eight versions of the operating system and will also receive security patches for eight years. This corresponds to updates until 2032.
A LinkedIn post from a Samsung executive, which has been deleted, indicated that the enterprise edition of the Galaxy Tab Active 5 would be supported for eight years.
The post is no longer there on the career-focused social media platform. This does not necessarily mean that Samsung has reversed its comments.
Samsung makes business devices for professionals. They are marketed as being more robust than standard slates.
Perhaps to reinforce its image as a reliable and durable device, there have been instances in the past where Samsung has promised to provide more updates for an enterprise device than was standard practice at the time. era.
For example, a few years ago, when flagship products were promised four years of security updates, professional versions were promised five years.
THE Galaxy S24 is Samsung's first device guaranteed for seven years of updates. The phone's AI features are lauded for their popularity, but the stellar software policy also deserves praise. This could be one of the reasons why Samsung is adding an extra year of support for newer devices.
With the post removed, there's no way to know if the Tab Active 5 Enterprise Edition will get eight years of support. We also can't say if this will be Samsung's new policy for all of its devices.
This does not seem likely, however. Indeed, the message also states that the new Galaxy XCover 7 will receive seven years of updates.
Regardless, the enterprise edition of the Galaxy Tab Active 5 is only semi-official at the moment. There is a single LinkedIn post it still mentions it and the company website makes no mention of it.
Everything should become clearer once this is properly announced.
