Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge will no longer receive software updates

Samsung Galaxy S6 hands-on

Three years after its launch, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S6 is done getting software updates.

Samsung has quietly removed the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge from its Android Security Updates page, suggesting that those devices will not receive any more updates going forward. The S6 edge+ and S6 Active are still in the Monthly Security Updates section, so it appears that they'll still get updates for now.

The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge came out 3 years ago, so it's not too surprising that Samsung has decided to end update support for them. That's actually a pretty long run of update support compared to most other Android devices. Now it looks like the GS6 and GS6 edge will remain on the software that they've got, though, so owners may want to start thinking about picking up a new device.
