This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. 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 S5 mini in detail
How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini get?
Released in July 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini received security patches until August 2017: 3 years and 1 month in total.
Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 58 were supported for less time and 199 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 9 years and 2 months ago.
Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after August 2017 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.
