However, the Fold 2 wasn\u2019t included in Samsung\u2019s list of \u201cselect\u201d Galaxy devices.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, one could have estimated that the Fold 2 might stop receiving OS and security updates by 2024, four years after its debut. But it&#8217;s still hard to reconcile with paying four figures for a phone that became a security risk after four years, despite functioning properly otherwise. Apple, by comparison, now promises at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/iphone-software-support-commitment-3449135\/\">five years<\/a> of security updates. Apple only started making that promise in 2023 with the iPhone 15 series. However, the current-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/09\/a-quick-guide-to-ios-power-user-features-the-new-control-center-and-beyond\/\">iOS 18<\/a> is supported by iPhones released in 2020, like the second-generation iPhone SE,\u00a0and even older ones, like the iPhone XR that came out in 2018. Arguably short-lived expensive devices like the Fold 2 are part of the reason some activists are pushing for the FTC to require that<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/09\/ftc-urged-to-make-smart-devices-say-how-long-theyll-be-supported\/\"> smart devices state on their packaging how long they&#8217;ll receive updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike iPhones, Samsung phones aren&#8217;t all powered by a proprietary chip, making promises of upgrades require commitments from third-party vendors, like Qualcomm. With Qualcomm known for being resistant to longer chip life cycles in the past, seven years of updates is progress for Samsung users\u2014just not those who invested in the Z Fold 2.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/10\/samsung-foldable-that-debuted-at-2k-in-2020-stops-receiving-security-updates\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February 2022, Samsung started promising up to four generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades to \u201cselect\u201d Galaxy devices, as well as \u201cup to five years of security &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=112024\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
