Starting on the 20th of June 2025, the EU is enforcing a minimum of 5 years of updates on all smartphone/tablets sold after they are withdrawn from the market.
I.e. if a model is sold for 2 years, it must receive software support for 7 years.
Even if you’re outside of the EU, you’ll benefit from this. Since the OEMs have to do it anyway, they’ll likely push the updates to all markets and market it as if they’re being nice.
