Samsung Galaxy End of Life: The Complete EOL List, Model by Model

By Scott Bissett  ·  Updated: August 2026  ·  Reference — 439 Samsung mobile devices tracked  ·  Methodology on our accuracy page

Every Samsung Galaxy device has a knowable end-of-support date, and they range from 2 to 7 years after launch depending on the model's tier and year. Recent flagships (Galaxy S24 and later, and current foldables) carry seven years of security updates — the longest commitment in Android. Mid-tier and budget models get less, and models launched before 2019 are almost all past end of life today.

This is the list people search as "the Samsung end of life list" — and it is on this page in full: all 439 tracked models, grouped by line, from the newest S-series flagships back to the early Galaxy era, with the live device table as the always-current source. Samsung's security-updates page defines which devices receive monthly, quarterly, or biannual patches — a device leaving that schedule entirely is what "end of life" means for a phone.

Which Samsung Galaxy devices are end of life in 2026?

As of Aug 30, 2026, 323 of the 439 Samsung mobile devices we track are past end of support; 116 still receive security updates. The headline casualty of 2026 is the Galaxy S21 generation: the Galaxy S21 5G, S21+ 5G and S21 Ultra 5G all received their final security update on Feb 21, 2026 — five years after their Jan 29, 2021 launch. Anything older than the S21 in the flagship line, the entire Note and J series, and nearly every pre-2021 A-series model is already past end of support.

Devices that reached end of support during 2026: Galaxy A03 core (Jan 6, 2026), Galaxy A13 5G (Jan 6, 2026), Galaxy A03 (Feb 21, 2026), Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (Feb 21, 2026), Galaxy S21+ 5G (Feb 21, 2026), Galaxy S21 5G (Feb 21, 2026), Galaxy M23 5G (Apr 7, 2026), Galaxy M33 5G (May 6, 2026), Galaxy A23 (May 6, 2026), Galaxy A13 (May 6, 2026), Galaxy M53 5G (Jun 3, 2026), Galaxy A13 (SM-A137) (Jul 1, 2026), Galaxy M13 (Jul 7, 2026), Galaxy M13 5G (Aug 4, 2026) and Galaxy F13 (Aug 4, 2026). No further tracked Samsung device has a published end-of-support date left in 2026.

Two 2021 foldables sit in an in-between state: the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, both launched Aug 27, 2021, came off Samsung's four-year active-update window on Aug 27, 2025. Samsung has not published a final security-update date for either, so both are listed below as "Not announced" rather than given a date we cannot source.

Two useful reference points from the current lineup: the Galaxy S23 Ultra is patched until Feb 17, 2028 (5 years from launch), and the Galaxy S24 Ultra runs until Jan 24, 2031 under the 7-year policy. Every other model is in the tables below or on the live Samsung device table, which updates nightly.

How Samsung's update tiers work

• 7 years — Galaxy S24 generation onward and current Z foldables, per the policy Samsung announced in January 2024. Example from the data: Galaxy S24 released Jan 24, 2024, security updates to Jan 24, 2031; Galaxy S26 runs to Mar 6, 2033.
• 6 years — recent A/M/F mid-rangers: the Galaxy A56 5G (released Mar 28, 2025) is patched until Mar 28, 2031.
• ≈5 years — the 2021–2023 flagship generations: Galaxy S21 5G ran Jan 29, 2021 → Feb 21, 2026; Galaxy S23 Ultra ends Feb 17, 2028.
• 2–4 years — older and budget models: the entire J series and pre-2019 devices are done.
• Cadence degrades before it ends: devices move from monthly to quarterly to biannual patches in their final years — a late-life Galaxy may be "supported" but patched only twice a year.

What to do with an end-of-life Galaxy

1. Confirm the date for your exact model on our Samsung device table — names matter (an S21 FE and an S21 carry different dates).
2. Personal devices: past end of support, avoid banking and sensitive accounts on the device, and plan replacement — trade-in values fall fastest right after a model leaves support.
3. Fleets: EOL devices belong on a hard replacement schedule; mobile-device-management policies should enforce a minimum patch level. Track the estate with our API or the Checker.
