According to news on April 2, Samsung Electronics has ended its software update support for the original Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung’s first clamshell folding screen phone released four years ago will no longer receive new system and security updates.
This means that the Galaxy Z Flip will permanently stay on Android 12 and the January 2024 security patch version. While it's not ruled out that Samsung will push additional security updates before stopping support entirely, it's less likely. It should be noted that this suspension only applies to the LTE version of the first-generation Galaxy Z Flip. The Galaxy Z Flip 5G version released six months later will still get quarterly security updates that will last for about six months. Noted that the update treatment of the original Z Flip was not as good as other flagship models released by Samsung in 2020. For example, the Galaxy S20 series originally only enjoyed four years of update services, but unexpectedly received an additional fifth-year update. This may be related to the low sales of Samsung’s foldable phones, especially the mediocre performance of the first-generation model in the market.The above is the detailed content of 4 years after launch, original Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone stops getting software updates.
