If you keep a phone for several years, software support matters as much as hardware. In 2025 manufacturers are finally competing on update guarantees more Android phones now promise multi-year OS and security updates, which translates to new features, better performance and stronger security for longer. Below are eight recently launched phones you can buy in Bangladesh in 2025 that stand out for long-term software support and what that support actually means for you.
Samsung and Google lead the pack. Samsung now promises up to 7 years of One UI/Android updates and security support for its recent flagship and some high-end models a major shift that makes Galaxy flagships a safe long-term buy. This 7-year promise covers the latest Galaxy S and Z flagships introduced in 2024–2025.
Google matched that move: Pixel 8 and later Pixel models (Pixel 10 series included among the newest launches) are guaranteed 7 years of OS and security updates, including Pixel Feature Drops great if you want guaranteed Android upgrades and Google’s exclusive features.
Honor and some other makers are also advertising extended support windows for their top foldables and flagships. Honor’s recent premium foldable promotes a long-support promise (making it worth considering if you want a foldable that stays current).
OnePlus has improved but still offers fewer full Android version upgrades than Samsung/Google: recent OnePlus 13-series phones promise 4 major Android updates and extended security updates, which is solid but not class-leading. If you value a long stream of Android version updates, prioritize Samsung or Pixel.
Below I list eight phones (newly launched or current flagships in 2025) that combine strong hardware with long update promises and are available or expected to be sold in Bangladesh this year. For each model I note the manufacturer’s update promise and practical takeaways to help you decide.
| Model | Launch (year) | Promised OS updates | Promised security updates | Short note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy S25 | 2025 | Up to 7 years (OS & security). | Up to 7 years. | Best for long Android upgrades + Samsung ecosystem. |
| Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra | 2025 | Up to 7 years. | Up to 7 years. | Flagship features + longest updates. |
| Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 | 2025 | Eligible for Samsung’s 7-year policy. | Up to 7 years. | Foldable that won’t feel “old” quickly. |
| Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | 2025 | Eligible for 7 years (select models). | Up to 7 years. | Compact form-factor + long updates. |

Final takeaways
If maximum OS longevity is your top priority in Bangladesh 2025, choose a Samsung flagship or a Google Pixel from the newest generations — both now promise up to seven years of OS/security support. Foldable buyers should consider Honor and Samsung foldables that carry extended promises. OnePlus and other midrange brands have improved update policies but still trail the Pixel/Samsung leaders on guaranteed Android version upgrades.
