Google has already been the only Android manufacturer that offered 3-year support to all terminals that launched to the market. And I say the only one because recently Samsung announced that it was joining the same policy, an advertisement that will undoubtedly allow you to gain the trust of more users.
This means that Samsung devices will receive 3 years of updates including new versions of Android. So far, Samsung only offered 2 years of support, and as time goes by, these they are lagging if update support. The last to suffer is the Galaxy Note 8.
Samsung has confirmed through its support website that the Galaxy Note 8, a device that has turned 3 years old, you will stop receiving monthly security updates, going to receive them every 3 months.
This should not be a problem for owners of this model, as will continue to receive security patches of the vulnerabilities that are detected both in the Android version that manages them and in the customization layer. The only but is that they will receive them every 3 months. If the security breach is very dangerous, the company would release a patch quickly without waiting for the quarterly windows.
The Galaxy Note 8 It is not the only terminal that will stop receiving monthly security updates to become quarterly. The Galaxy J7 Prime is another of the models that will also receive this type of update every 3 months. It should be remembered that both terminals reached the market jointly, so it is not surprising that it is also included in the same bag.
While it is true that the Galaxy Note 8 is still a perfectly valid terminal today, if you use it for games it is likely to fall a little short in terms of performance. If you plan to renew it, a fantastic option to consider is the Galaxy M51, a terminal that has just arrived in Spain for 389 euros
