Anyone with an older Samsung Galaxy smartphone in their pocket might want to consider switching to something new this year. That's because a batch of popular devices, including the Galaxy S20, will be blocked from getting the very latest version of Android.
Many of Samsung's ageing phones only come with a guaranteed three years of operating system updates and that time has now run out. It basically means that when the Korean firm releases its version of Android 14 - called One UI 6 - towards the end of 2023, millions won't be offered the chance to download and install it.
It will be a major blow to those who love to keep pace with the latest and greatest upgrades although Samsung has always made it clear that it only offers a limited number of Android updates so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
