This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy A2 Core. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.

The Samsung Galaxy A2 Core in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy A2 Core get?

Released in April 2019, the Samsung Galaxy A2 Core received security patches until October 2021: 2 years and 6 months in total.

Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 27 were supported for less time and 228 for longer. The median is 4 years and 1 month.

Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.

The last patch came out 5 years ago.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy A2 Core?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after October 2021 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
