Software Alongside the Galaxy A25, Galaxy A35, and the Galaxy A55 5G, the device is slated to receive 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates (expected within 2028). While these devices became the first in the Galaxy A1x series to have extended support, it also marks the last time these devices will receive this level of support, as its successors all had 6 years of support.
Starting with the Galaxy A15 and its variants, the Galaxy A1x, M1x and F1x series no longer support 32-bit ARMv7 applications due to restrictions in the SoC. Other Galaxy devices (except watches) from 2024 onwards will also not support 32-bit ARMv7 apps.
