Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the Galaxy M62 should be supported until around March 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -1.3 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Galaxy M62 get updates?

Samsung delivered roughly two OS upgrades (to Android 13) and about four years of security patches, all of which have now run out. The phone no longer receives new updates as of 2025.

Is the Galaxy M62 battery really 7000mAh?

Yes. The M62 ships with a genuine 7000mAh cell, one of the largest ever put in a mainstream Samsung phone, easily delivering two days of normal use.

Was the Galaxy M62 sold in the United States?

No. It was an India, Asia and Middle East release. Any US units are imports without local warranty, and they lack US LTE band optimization.
