In an era when brands are competing against each other to offer the latest specifications, Samsung has decided to enhance the perspective that other brands often tend to evade. That is long-term software support. Samsung Electronics recently declared that it will be elongating the software security support to its smartphones that were launched in 2019 and later. These devices will now get four years of security updates including Samsung’s Flagship S, Z, Fold series, Note series, the A-series, and M-series.
Are security updates of Samsung the same as Android OS updates?

Although you will not receive the subsequent four Android variants on your smartphone, four years of security patches will still be important for keeping your device secure for a long time. However, the recurrence of updates for all the compatible devices may not be identical. While you may get monthly security patch updates, others may receive updates in three months.
According to Seungwon Shin, VP & Head of Security Team at Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics, “At Samsung, our number one priority is offering the best and most secure mobile experience to our users, and we’re constantly optimizing the security of our products and services. Mobile devices play such an important role in our lives, it’s only natural that we want to hold onto them longer. That’s why, thanks to the latest technology advancements, we’re committing to securing Galaxy devices for even longer, so that everything that should be kept protected stays protected.”

Although you might not have heard much about the Cake Web Browser application, it has performed way beyond our expectations. On our benchmarks, this app was consistently performing and stood only second to Puffin. The memorable feature of this app is its user experience. Other applications focus more on the security and speed aspects. The Cake Web Browser app prioritizes the user experience. You get features like patent-pending technology i.e. fetching results through swipes, in-built ad blocker, and pop-up blocker.
