The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G will apparently come with six years of OS updates and security patches.
This is a significant improvement over Samsung’s previous policy of four major OS updates and five years of security patches for cheap phones.

Samsung and Google offer the best update policies (https://www.androidauthority.com/phone-update-policies-1658633/) in the smartphone industry, as their top-tier phones get seven years of Android OS updates and security patches. Now, it looks like Samsung (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-samsung-phones-771831/) could up the ante with its budget phones too.
