Update frequency for NON-enterprise A models?

[SquirrelSpider]

Hi, Here https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb is Samsung's official smartphone update frequency. My problem is that for Galaxy A series it only says that A series models get monthly updates IF they are enterprise models. But what about NON-enterprise A series models? So if I go into a store and buy an A54 or the new A55, a presumably NON-enterprise model, should I expect monthly updates or only quarterly ones? Thank you

You get monthly updates till a age certain of the device, then drop down to quarterly like tablets are then they stop altogether. They can push outc further security patches if important.

I just checked, and the A54/55 are enterprise models

8 December 2024, my A55 last update was 21 October  with a security patch level of 1 October.

They may call that monthly updates, but a look at android security bulletin for novembre and December leave me very  insecure, it's simply not acceptable.

This month I've seen plenty of "up to date" Samsung A devices infected trough facebook ads and Messenger hacks with as symptom the Play Store and other security features being disabled.  A health check doesn't even detect that the phone has been rooted by the hacker. I'm not even sure I can trust a factory reset to clean those phone. Samsung android security at it's best, as usual...

Trusting a banking app on such phone is pure insanity

Sorry but when I checked it says that A55 is an enterprise model, so should be on monthly. The A54 is not though.

Sorry A54 is an enterprise model
