I have a question about the 7 years of OS updates. Now that Android 15 will not be released until 2025, does this mean we will now only get 6 OS updates with it being delayed?

One wonders if this was purposely done to save money?

I believe when Samsung says you will have 7 years of updates, they do not actually mean seven calendar years, they mean seven corresponding releases of updates.

@Oxford They absolutely mean 7 calendar years of updates and Security patches. The norm for Samsung lately is release a new device in January with the .1 version of One Ui. The previous years models are running the 0 version of One Ui. Example: 24 series was released with One Ui 6.1 while the S23 series was already on One Ui 6.0. By now releasing One Ui 7.0 in January for the S24 series with the S25 series shipping with 7.1 the S24 series will be short changed one version of the OS.

Is this making any sense to you

Ui 7 is Android 15, as is Ui 6 is Android 14. One Ui (insert number) is the  skin that Samsung puts on Android.

@meself Yes, Android comes from Google, One Ui is the “SKIN” Samsung puts on Android. Each One Ui new release corresponds with a new version of Android. 

One Ui7 =  Android 15 next version!

One Ui6 =  Android 14 currently  version !
