When does the Galaxy Z Flip7 stop getting updates?

01 What is published

Shipped with

Android 16, One UI 8Samsung Newsroom UK — Galaxy Z Flip7, retrieved 2026-08-20

02 What the dates mean

Feature updates are new versions of Android and the maker’s software on top of it. Security updates are fixes for newly found flaws, issued without new features, and they continue after feature updates stop. A phone past its security date still works; it stops being patched. The dates above are the maker’s published window as recorded by the source linked, not a prediction of when updates will actually stop.

03What Samsung actually committed to

Samsung's UK spec API for SM-F766BDBGEUB lists "Security Update Period (Valid until)" as 31 July 2032. That is Samsung's own date, and it is the one shown; endoflife.date records 2032-07-25. Samsung states feature (OS) upgrades as a number of Android generations rather than a date, so no feature-update end date is shown (endoflife.date estimates 2032-07-25).

04 OS upgrades versus security updates

OS upgrades bring new Android versions and features. Security updates are patches for newly found flaws, and they can outlast the upgrades.

Samsung publishes only the security date, 2032-07-31. It states no end date for new versions, so this page cannot say which ends first and does not guess.

• Security patches run for another 69 months (5 years 9 months), to 2032-07-31.

05 What stops working first

• Samsung states no end date for new versions, so none is shown here.
• From 2032-07-31: no more security patches from Samsung. The phone keeps working; it stops being patched.
