Samsung just attempted to change the game or at least allow the cars to stack a bit more in their favor when it comes to software updates back in october samsung announced that their phones will get a guaranteed three years of software updates that's an extra year on top of the de facto two-year upgrade promise google requires of oems
That was new or at least new to most android-based smartphones on the market today for years this has been one of the most major sticking points in hardcore apple fans reasoning for continuing to purchase an iphone the value that comes from more than two years of software updates from the manufacturers of the phone now today samsung is taking things a step even further
Announced that their phones will now get four years of security updates instead of three so this means that all future samsung phones and tablets will get three years of android updates and four years of security patches to be clear not all samsung devices will get the updates here's the list honestly this is big considering not even google offers four years of security updates on their pixel phones samsung had a bad reputation for being slow in providing software updates for even their flagship phones but for the past year or so the landscape has totally changed samsung
now one of the first if not the first oem to roll out the new software updates in fact there are many months in 2020 in which samsung pushed the latest android security patch even before google pushed it to pixel devices today all of samsung flagship phones from 2019 or later are on the latest version of android many of its active mid-range devices are also either on android 11 or at least on android 10.
So good to see samsung leading the charge up front even in software updates here's a small update regarding the new exynos tip with amd gpu according to ice universe samsung is apparently planning to showcase the custom gpu developed with amd in june 2021.
Furthermore the company will be revealing the technical details and specifications regarding the new chip around this time as well for those unaware samsung has officially said their next flagship product will have amd gpu and that flagship product is expected to be the galaxy z43 scheduled to launch in july later this year yes samsung has now reportedly decided to ditch tyson and make android smart purchase samsung did make android power smart watches back in the day but the company switched over to tizen in 2014 that has enabled the company to be in complete control of the software experience on their watches but for some reason they are switching back to android again probably it has to do with the lack of third-party apps on tyson the third-party app support for tyson isn't even the same league as well
So this is actually good news for samsung users but at the same time you should know that tizen provides a superior experience to most wear os watchers in terms of performance so hopefully the next galaxy watch can provide the same excellent experience as tyson speaking of smart watches the galaxy watch active 2 and watch 3 have ecg support but is limited to only a handful of countries the samsung has finally decided to extend the life-saving feature to 31 more countries the list of weights is shown here also you can measure your blood pressure with the watch you will have to download a software update before you can start using the app the update is rolling out now
