Samsung cuts off updates for Galaxy Note 10 Lite, S10 Lite & more
Samsung has ended update support for four Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy A71, and Galaxy A02 will not receive updates anymore. Not just feature updates but security updates either. If you are using any of these devices, it’s high time you switch to a newer model.
Galaxy Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite will no longer get updates
During the Galaxy S24 launch in January, Samsung announced that its flagship phones will receive seven Android OS updates and seven years of security updates. It is a massive jump from the previous policy of four Android updates and five years of security patches. Before that, the company promised a maximum update support for three to four years depending on the model.
The Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy A71, and Galaxy A02 were all covered under that policy (Samsung didn’t extend its updated policies to these devices). The former three models debuted in January or February 2020 and turned four earlier this year. The latter arrived in January 2021 and completed three years this January. The promised support period has elapsed.
Expectedly, Samsung has removed these devices from its official support website. They are no longer guaranteed an update. The company could still push one if there is a critical security flaw it must patch. It has done so for a few devices in the past. But the firm is no longer obliged to roll out new security patches to Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy A71, and Galaxy A02 every few months.
If you are rocking one of these Samsung phones, you should consider upgrading to something newer. The company has already discontinued the Note lineup, so you won’t find a successor to the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The Galaxy S10 Lite also never got an outright successor, though the Fan Edition (FE) lineup falls in this category—the Galaxy S23 FE is the latest model in the lineup.
The Galaxy A71 5G and A02s are still supported
Samsung also released a 5G version of the Galaxy A71. It debuted in June 2020 and should receive updates until at least June 2024. The Galaxy A02s is also still supported, though that’s a little weird. It launched a few weeks before the Galaxy A02. Since it packs better specs, the company likely doesn’t consider the Galaxy A02s an entry-level product and plans to offer four years of support. In that case, it will get updates till January 2025.
