It’s the end of the road for the Samsung Galaxy S7 active and the old Galaxy Tab A 10.1 – at least if you want to continue receiving security updates. Still, both devices were released in 2016, which means they’ve received support for 4 years.

Those are not the only changes to Samsung’s update schedule, several devices were bumped down from the Quarterly Update list to “Other Regular Security Updates”. Here’s the list:

Galaxy S8 Lite
Galaxy A6+ (2018)
Galaxy J7 Top
Galaxy J6
Galaxy J4
Galaxy J3 Top
These were demoted to quarterly updates back in April 2019. At the time the S7 Active was still getting monthly security updates while the Tab A 10.1 was already in the “Other” column.
