This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy J5. 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 J5 in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy J5 get?

Released in July 2015, the Samsung Galaxy J5 received security patches until December 2019: 4 years and 5 months in total.

Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 159 were supported for less time and 98 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 6 years and 10 months ago.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy J5?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after December 2019 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.
