Samsung reveals the official list of devices to get three OS updates: Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 fail to make the cut

A few weeks ago, Samsung officially confirmed that it would start providing three OS updates to its flagship phones, starting with the Galaxy S10 series. Reports then surfaced that the company's Galaxy A-series would also enjoy similar perks. Those reports have proven true now, as Samsung has officially released the list of devices that will get three OS updates.

The list is as follows:

• Galaxy S20 Ultra
• S20+
• S20
• S10 5G
• S10+
• S10
• S10e
• S10 Lite
• Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
• Note 20
• Note 10+
• Note 10
• Note 10 Lite
• Galaxy Z Fold 2
• Galaxy Z Flip
• Galaxy Fold
• Galaxy A71
• A51
• A90 5G
• Galaxy Tab S7+
• Galaxy Tab S7
• Galaxy Tab S6
• Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 

It's important to note that all variants of the phones—4G and 5G models—listed above will get the promised three OS updates. Upcoming phones in the Galaxy S series, Galaxy Note series, Galaxy Z series, and Galaxy Tab series will all get three OS updates. However, not all future Galaxy A series devices will get that privilege; we expect only the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A72, and upwards to be part of this new policy. Sorry, Galaxy A31 and A41 owners.

Sadly, for the Galaxy A series, only the current generation of phones make the cut. Ergo, the A51, A71, and A90. The A50 and A70 don't. That's a shame, but it makes sense from a business perspective.
