I have a Samsung a03s I need to know how long will this update until it stops updating because I don't want to get a new phone until then or will it still be useful?
Information online is pretty sparse, and is inconsistent at best. Looks like the last major feature/OS update was to Android 13 in 2023. On the Android 14 schedule you're looking at the A04s, not 03, getting Android 14. Since the A03s has limited RAM compared to most entry-level devices I would say you're about at the end of the update cycle. Released in August 2021, so it's been 3 years. If you get any further updates they'll probably be quarterly security-only patches. If you're looking to minimize costs, get the A15 5G. It's on the schedule to get Android 15 and I imagine we'll get at least a couple years of security patches after that. Maybe waiting till the holiday season will help with a good deal somewhere and perhaps by then Samsung will announce whatever the successor is (like the A16?).
