Samsung withdraws support for 2016 Galaxy A3, J1 and J3 models
Samsung has updated its Android security updates page by removing those models from the list, indicating that the company has ended support for those devices.
On the other hand, four new devices have been added that are the Galaxy A8, Galaxy A8 +, Galaxy J2 and Galaxy Tab Active2 from this year 2018. Of all these, only the Galaxy A8 model receives monthly security updates, while the Galaxy A8 + has been added to the list of quarterly security updates as well as the Galaxy J2 and Galaxy Tab Active2.
