Do you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + in your pocket? Well, pay attention to this information, because Samsung has warned that it will stop offering monthly security updates for these devices.
Much of the equipment that is in the Samsung catalog, especially when they are more advanced, receive security packages every month. However, it seems that Samsung is not willing to continue providing them for older equipment.

What the firm normally does is guarantee two consecutive years of updates. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + have already been in existence for three years, so it is completely normal that they are removed from this list.

It goes without saying, on the other hand, that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge + also have to say goodbye to version updates. New Android editions and new features will no longer be added, allowing users to improve their on-board experience.

What is clear is that they will not do it with the regularity of until now. If there are major problems, owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge + need not worry: they will continue to have Samsung's support.
