Samsung continues to push the boundaries of software support, offering up to seven years of major updates for its latest flagship smartphones. However, as new devices emerge, older models inevitably reach the end of their update cycle. In 2025, Samsung Galaxy updates will officially end for 11 smartphones, meaning they will no longer receive One UI upgrades or major security patches.
While Samsung Galaxy fans eagerly await upcoming releases like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, it’s also important to recognize which devices are losing software support this year. Below is the full list of Samsung smartphones that will no longer receive updates in 2025.
Samsung Galaxy Phones Losing Software Support in 2025

The following 11 Samsung Galaxy smartphones will no longer receive official updates this year:
✅ Samsung Galaxy A02s
✅ Samsung Galaxy A12
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20+
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20 5G
✅ Samsung Galaxy S20
✅ Samsung Galaxy W21 5G (China-exclusive version of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G)
While these devices are not too old by today’s standards, they were released during a time when Samsung’s software update policy was more limited—often providing just one or two major OS updates for non-flagship models.
What This Means for Samsung Users
For users still relying on these aging devices, the end of software support means:
🚨 No more One UI updates – Your phone will remain stuck on its last software version.
🚨 No new security patches – Increased vulnerability to malware and cyber threats.
🚨 Potential app incompatibility – Over time, newer apps and services may stop working properly.
If you’re using one of these retired Samsung phones, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Devices like the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy A16 5G are now eligible for up to seven years of software support, ensuring long-term security and performance.
