🧩 Should You Upgrade or Wait?

If you own a Galaxy A14 or A15, Android 15 will likely be your last major update. You’ll still get security patches for another 1–2 years, but new features and UI upgrades stop there.

Upgrading to an A17 (or higher) ensures you're covered until at least Android 18, which is significant for budget-conscious users who want long-term reliability.

🔚 Final Thoughts

Samsung’s expanding update policy is a huge win for A-series users, especially in 2025. While older models like the A14 may be nearing the end of their life cycle, newer devices like the A17 5G represent an affordable way to stay current without buying a flagship.
