No more updates: Samsung ends software support for the Galaxy S8 and S8+

[Redaktion]

Four years after release, Samsung has finally turned off the hall lights for owners of the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The two smartphones are now to be considered legacy devices and will no longer receive any scheduled security updates from Samsung. The Galaxy Note 8 and S8 Active are next in line for a similar treatment.

Still rocking an S5, for personal use with no gaming and minimal apps(virus') it's not really necessary for newer. And when an upgrade is needed either a second hand cheap former flagship or new budget model. Wifi calling/texting could be a good alternative as well.

It's been a great phone the S8, so this is kind of BS.

My phone is hardly broken in.

I love my S8 Active! I haven't found anything better to replace it with, so far. I NEED it's durability and dependability for my everyday life!
