Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but Samsung doesn't make it very clear that their budget phones only get 2 OS upgrades.

                      has anyone got their A42 officially updated to A13? I'm curious because this phone is being sold new/sealed at a bargain price at the moment.

                          DANIEL , 16 Dec 2023I own this smartphone series and it does not have an update to Android 13.Yep Samsung lied to us by claiming a series phones in 2020 or later would get three os updates but as it turns out Samsung likes to only update it's phones if they're one of their favourite countries

The only thing this Samsung rep is interested in is selling you another phone so they can get another commission for their next meal ticket.
