Samsung releases a list of all its products that qualify for the three generations of OS upgrades guarantee and confirms Galaxy S20 owners get Android 11 this year.

At Samsung’s Unpacked event earlier this month, the Korean tech giant showed half a dozen new products, including the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Tab S7, Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Watch 3, and upcoming Galaxy Z Fold2. But buried in all the product announcements was a commitment from Samsung to provide its customers with updates to its Galaxy lineup for three generations.
在本月早些时候的三星Unpacked活动上,这家韩国科技巨头展示了六种新产品,包括三星Galaxy Note 20 , Galaxy Tab S7 , Galaxy Buds Live , Galaxy Watch 3和即将推出的Galaxy Z Fold2 。 但所有产品公告中都隐含着三星承诺向客户提供三代产品更新的承诺。
Few details were provided at the time, and many questioned exactly what “three generations” meant. While most assumed it referred to Android OS upgrades, others speculated it may simply be One UI or security updates.
当时提供的细节很少,许多人确切地质疑“三代人”的含义。 尽管大多数人认为它是指Android OS升级,但其他人则认为它可能只是一个UI或安全更新。
After a few weeks of speculation, Samsung has clarified its commitment. The company will offer three generations of Android upgrades for most of its Galaxy flagship and midrange lineup. The list of supported devices includes all Samsung Galaxy S20 and Note 20 devices, all Galaxy Foldables, as well as future products in the series. The forthcoming Galaxy Tab S7 and last year’s Tab S6 lineup, along with future Tab S products, are also on the list. Even a handful of its Galaxy A-series phones including the A71, A51, A90, and select upcoming A-series devices will make the cut.
经过数周的猜测,三星已澄清其承诺 。 该公司将为其大多数Galaxy旗舰和中端产品线提供三代Android升级。 受支持的设备列表包括所有Samsung Galaxy S20和Note 20设备,所有Galaxy Foldables以及该系列中的未来产品。 即将上市的Galaxy Tab S7和去年的Tab S6系列产品以及未来的Tab S产品也都在列表中。 甚至包括A71, A51 ,A90在内的少数几款Galaxy A系列手机,以及即将推出的精选A系列设备也将晋级。
The commitment is welcome news for Samsung smartphone owners and means nearly every product in its current portfolio will continue to get OS upgrades through Android 13. The original Samsung Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Tab S6 will see their final upgrades with Android 12. Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series will be first to get the Android 11 treatment, a decision that’s likely to rile some soon-to-be Galaxy Note 20 and Tab S7 owners. And with the Note 20 series coming on the heels of Android 11, it doesn’t simply mean you’ll be in line behind S20 owners, but the newer Note 20 devices will stop getting upgrades the same year as their older sibling.
这项承诺对三星智能手机用户来说是可喜的消息,这意味着其现有产品组合中的几乎所有产品都将继续通过Android 13进行操作系统升级。原始的Samsung Galaxy Fold和Galaxy Tab S6将在Android 12上进行最终升级。三星的Galaxy S20系列将首先获得Android 11处理,这一决定可能会激怒一些即将成为Galaxy Note 20和Tab S7拥有者。 随着Note 20系列紧随Android 11之后,这并不仅仅意味着您将落后于S20拥有者,而且较新的Note 20设备将在同年老版本同年停止升级。
According to Samsung, it plans to roll out an Android 11 upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S20 series in 2020, though there is a lot of wiggle room in its announcement. A disclaimer states the Android 11 upgrade roadmap for the Galaxy S20 may vary by market or carrier. If you purchased an unlocked version of the Galaxy S20 you’ll likely be among the first to get the update. However, if you ordered through a carrier you’re likely going to wait longer since they carrier test and add additional tweaks before pushing updates.
根据三星的说法,尽管它的发布空间很大,但它计划在2020年将Android 11升级到三星Galaxy S20系列。 免责声明指出,Galaxy S20的Android 11升级路线图可能会因市场或运营商而异。 如果您购买的是解锁版本的Galaxy S20,则很可能会第一个获得此更新。 但是,如果您是通过运营商订购的,则您可能要等待更长的时间,因为他们会测试并添加其他调整,然后再推送更新。
The announcement is long overdue and puts Samsung on slightly more competitive footing with the likes of Apple’s iPhone lineup and Google’s Pixel smartphones. That said, day-of-release upgrades or even quick upgrades like iPhones, Pixels, and Android One smartphones enjoy, do not appear to be in the cards. With the exception of its commitment to upgrade the Samsung Galaxy S20 series to Android 11 later this year, the company has yet to commit to even a rough roadmap for annual OS upgrades.
该消息早就该发布了,这使三星在苹果iPhone系列和谷歌Pixel智能手机等产品上更具竞争力。 也就是说,发行当天的升级甚至是iPhone,Pixel和Android One智能手机等快速升级版都没有出现。 除了承诺今年晚些时候将三星Galaxy S20系列升级到Android 11之外,该公司还没有承诺为年度OS升级制定一个粗略的路线图。
