This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy S9. 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 S9 in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy S9 get?

Released in March 2018, the Samsung Galaxy S9 received security patches until April 2022: 4 years and 1 month in total.

Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 126 were supported for less time and 113 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 4 years and 6 months ago.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy S9?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after April 2022 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.
