End of Life for Galaxy A03s, A52s, F42 5G, and M32 5G
Samsung has officially ended software support for the Galaxy A03s, Galaxy A52s, Galaxy F42 5G, and Galaxy M32 5G smartphones. This includes both operating system updates and crucial security patches.
Samsung is known for providing relatively long software support cycles for its Android devices, but this support is finite. The four-year support window has now closed for these specific models.
Four Years of Updates Fulfilled
These phones were launched between August and September 2021, and Samsung initially pledged four years of security updates. The company honored this commitment, with the final updates rolling out in September 2025.
The cessation of security updates leaves these devices increasingly vulnerable to emerging security threats and potential exploits. Owners of these models should consider upgrading to a newer device to maintain security.
Upgrade Options
Samsung offers several newer models as potential replacements. For users of the Galaxy A03s, the Galaxy A07 is a successor. The Galaxy F56 follows the F42 5G, and the Galaxy M36 is the successor to the M32 5G. Galaxy A52s owners may find the Galaxy A56 to be a compelling upgrade option.
