Samsung has removed three Galaxy phones from the software update support chart in May 2026. Two Galaxy A phones and one Galaxy M phone have reached their end of life, years after receiving regular software updates.

Monthly Updates – No change

Samsung’s May 2026 update chart is identical to April in the Monthly segment; no additions, removals, or transfers.

Removals from Quarterly Updates

Three devices were dropped entirely from the May list (not transferred anywhere, just removed). The budget Galaxy A13, along with the mid-range Galaxy A23 LTE and Galaxy M33 5G models, is no longer eligible for updates.

1. Galaxy A13 was part of the A13, A14, A14 5G… row in April. In May, that row starts from A14 onward.
2. Galaxy A23 (non-5G) was listed alongside the A23 5G in April. In May, only the A23 5G remains.
3. Galaxy M33 5G was part of the M33 5G, M34 5G… row in April. In May, that row starts from M34 5G.

Note that Samsung has already abandoned its Biannual offering. Devices no longer shift from the Quarterly to the Biannual update chart. If flagship, the device stays in Monthly, then moves to Quarterly in the last year of support.

Samsung’s May 2026 security patch brings fixes to 29 Android CVEs and 10 One UI SVEs. The latest security update hasn’t yet started rolling out. Users should be ready for a delay in the May patch rollout due to One UI 8.5.

On May 6, Samsung started releasing the One UI 8.5 update. Galaxy S25 series, Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and more phones received the stable update. Samsung plans to open a worldwide rollout for several devices on May 11, 2026.
