Samsung demotes four Galaxy A series phones to biannual security updates
Some older models have been removed from the list altogether
Samsung recently pushed Android security patches to the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20, S9, and some A series phones. The company uses three tiers for rolling out security updates — monthly, quarterly, and biannual — and regularly changes which models are on which cycle. The latest update to the schedule impacts a number of Galaxy A series phones.

One UI 3.1 has been rolling out to older Galaxy devices quickly in the last few months. Despite only being an incremental upgrade over 3.0, it carries over several useful features from the Galaxy S21 to its older siblings. Over the last few weeks, One UI 3.1 has arrived for several mid-range devices and some T-Mobile variants.
Back in May, we reported Samsung's new 64MP camera would make its way to a device called the Galaxy A70s. Unfortunately, we didn't have more details regarding the handset, besides assuming it would be an improved version of the Galaxy A70. The company just officialized the device in India, where you'll be able to buy it starting tomorrow.
Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled a new camera sensor capable of reaching a 64MP resolution, dethroning Sony's 48MP product. Although some expected it would make its way into the upcoming Galaxy Note 10, the company will instead fit it into the lower-end Galaxy A70s, according to reports.
