The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G get?

Released in August 2021, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G received security patches until September 2026: 5 years and 1 month in total.

Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 197 were supported for less time and 51 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 1 month ago.

Two schedules overlap here. New system versions stop in August 2025, security patches in September 2026. In between, the device stays on its last version but still gets fixes for security holes.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after September 2026 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.
