Samsung Enterprise Edition smartphones deliver Android updates for four years

There was a time when smartphone owners changed their handsets from year to year as new models are released annually. Back then, the changes in terms of hardware and performance capabilities did seem to increase exponentially, making one huge leap to another with each passing year. However, as time passed, these performance jumps became smaller and smaller, and for a while it did feel as though the industry has reached a plateau before someone decided to cram in more and more cameras with each passing smartphone generation. Improved build quality has also resulted in users holding on to their handsets for a few more years before making a new smartphone purchase. I suppose one way that the industry could help shift more unit sales would be through operating system updates.

No one likes to be left behind in terms of operating system updates and security patches, so when a particular device is no longer supported to receive the latest operating system updates, the fear of having one's device compromised due to security issues is more often than not enough to get that latest flagship smartphone. What Samsung has done with their Samsung Enterprise Edition smartphones is slightly different. In fact, it takes the opposite route by offering guaranteed Android updates for not two, but four years. 

These new smartphones have been released in the UK, and as one is able to tell from its name, these were specially released for the business fraternity. It remains to be seen as to where one is able to pick these up, but chances are you will not be able to find this at your local Tesco or telecommunications store. 

For starters, there will be up to half a dozen different Galaxy "Enterprise Edition" devices available made  for purchase in the UK: the high end Galaxy Note 10, the flagship Galaxy S10, the Galaxy S10e, the Galaxy A50, Galaxy A40, and XCover 4s. Word has it that there will be other additional variants of the Galaxy Enterprise Edition in due time, so stay tuned. 

Make no mistake about it, all of the above mentioned smartphone models are solid devices on their own, especially the flagship Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 range. However, "Enterprise Edition" models ought to bring more features than what a regular handset does, which is why business people will love the idea of Knox Configure being part of the deal.

Samsung's very own security suite, the Knox Configure, offers the user more control over settings, restrictions, apps and other mobile content, in addition to Enterprise Firmware-over-the-air (E-FOTA). This would help one to manage mobile firmware and security updates in a more convenient manner, not to mention being able to remotely update the OS across the whole Samsung fleet of devices. If you have a small or medium enterprise that are constantly in touch across all levels through the smartphone, it might be a good idea to have everyone switch over to a Samsung Galaxy Enterprise Edition handset. Through this, you will be able to update the whole bunch of devices each time the newest or latest updates are released, helping secure your business against any unwanted intrusion. 

Samsung promises up to 4 years of regular firmware updates and 3 years of enhanced service maintenance, including next business day responses.
