This device has expired. Now what?

The Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core) in detail
How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core) get?
Released in April 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core) received security patches until April 2017: 3 years in total.
Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 41 were supported for less time and 200 for longer. The median is 4 years and 1 month.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core)?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after April 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.
