Frequently asked
How long will the Galaxy F05 get updates?
Samsung commits to two Android OS upgrades and four years of security patches from its September 2024 launch, running to around 2028.
Does the Galaxy F05 support 5G?
No, it is a 4G-only budget phone built on the MediaTek Helio G85.
When will the Galaxy M07 stop getting updates?
Samsung has committed to six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security patches from the phone's late-2025 launch, with support listed into 2031. That is remarkable for a phone that costs under ₹8,000. It ships on Android 15 with One UI 7.
Is the Galaxy M07 worth buying in 2026?
As a first phone, a backup, or a device for a child or an elderly relative, it is excellent value: six years of security on a sub-$100 phone is barely more than a dollar a month of safe use. Just go in knowing the screen is only 720p and there is no 5G or NFC. Anyone who wants 5G should stretch to the A07 5G.
