Phones with the longest published security support
Ranked by the months actually remaining, counted from today, using the end dates the manufacturers themselves publish. Two of the largest brands publish no per-model date at all, so they are named below rather than quietly left out. That distinction is the point of the page.
Who is not on this list, and why
This ranks the phones whose makers have published an end date. Some of the biggest names have not, so they cannot be ranked here at all. That is about what they disclose, not how long they support a phone, and if you own one of these your phone is not scoring badly. It is not in the race.
Samsung115 models we hold
Samsung publishes the list of devices it is currently issuing security updates for, and how often — monthly for current flagships and foldables, quarterly for older and mid-range models. A phone drops from monthly to quarterly as it ages and off the list entirely when support ends, so the list is a live status rather than a promise. Samsung separately says it is extending support to up to seven years for Galaxy devices from January 2024. It also warns that timing varies by market and carrier, so a promise alone would not have told you what your handset gets.
Google10 models we hold
Google publishes a countable commitment and names the models it covers. Pixel 8 and later get seven years; the Pixel 6 and 7 generations and the original Pixel Fold get five; the Pixel 5a and earlier are listed as no longer receiving updates at all. The clock starts when the device first went on sale on the Google Store in the US, and Google publishes those dates too — which is what makes an exact end date possible here and impossible for Apple.
Apple2 models we hold
Apple makes no support commitment at all. It publishes which models run the current iOS and nothing about how long a device will keep receiving updates. Its record is long — recent iPhones have received major updates for roughly six to eight years — but that is an observation about the past, not a promise about your phone. Anyone quoting you a confident Apple end-date is inferring it.
Motorola1 models we hold
Motorola publishes a start month and an end month for each model, in a signed Statement of Compliance filed under the UK's product security regulations. That makes it the only maker on this page where the answer needs no arithmetic and no second source — it is simply stated. The periods vary widely by model rather than by brand: two years on the cheapest moto e and moto g handsets, three to four across most of the range, five on recent edge models, and six and a half on the motorola signature. Motorola also notes that this information is not a commitment and that it may change the timing of any software release.
Xiaomino per-model data published
Xiaomi commits to the least of any maker here, and hedges even that. For Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones it says it will typically maintain security updates for at least two years after a model first ships, and that it may support some models for three years or longer, subject to actual conditions. It publishes no per-model end date anywhere we can read, so this tool gives no Xiaomi countdown — a two-year floor with no model-level detail is the whole published answer. Set against Google's seven years, that is the widest gap on this page.

Why this is a ranking of what is published
Most tables like this one quietly answer a different question than the one in the heading. They rank the phones the writer could find a number for, and the phones with no number get a number anyway, produced by averaging what the maker did last time. That is how confident Apple end-dates come to exist when Apple has published none.
So this page ranks only the phones with a published end date behind them, and says so in the heading rather than in the small print. Where a maker printed the month itself, which Motorola and OnePlus both do because UK regulations require it, the row is marked. Where the date is counted from a published window and a published on-sale date, as every Pixel is, it is not marked, because one has had slightly more done to it than the other and you are entitled to know which.
What a long window is actually worth
It delays the replacement, and that is where the money is. A phone with six years of support left can be kept safely for six years, so its cost spreads across all of them. A phone with eighteen months left is on a shorter clock whatever it cost, and the difference can be larger than the price gap between the two.
It is worth nothing at all if you replace the phone after two years anyway, which is worth being honest with yourself about before paying for a window you will not use. And if you are weighing a repair against a replacement right now, the repair or replace calculator turns the remaining months into a cost per month, which is the comparable figure. To check one specific phone rather than browse a ranking, use the phone update checker.
Frequently asked
Which phones get the longest security support?
Among phones whose makers publish a per-model end date, the longest windows currently belong to recent Pixels, recent Motorola models and recent OnePlus models, and the table above ranks them by the months actually remaining rather than by the headline number of years. The important caveat is that this is a ranking of what is published, not of every phone on sale: Samsung and Apple publish no per-model end date, so neither can appear, and their absence says nothing about how long they support a device.
Why is no Samsung Galaxy on this list?
Because Samsung does not publish an end date for any model. What it publishes instead is the live list of devices it is currently issuing security updates for, split into monthly and quarterly, which is a present-tense fact rather than a future date. It cannot be ranked against a countdown without inventing the window, so Samsung is named above the table rather than left out silently. Samsung has separately said it is extending support to up to seven years for devices from January 2024, which is a commitment about the future but not a per-model date.
Why is no iPhone on this list?
Apple has never published a support duration for any iPhone. It publishes which models run the current iOS, and nothing about how long any device will keep receiving updates, so there is no figure to rank. Apple's measured record is long, which is a separate point: on 11 May 2026 it shipped security updates to iPhones going back to the iPhone 6s of 2015. That is a fact about the past, and a ranking is a claim about the future, so the two cannot share a column.
Where do these dates come from?
Manufacturer pages only. Motorola publishes a signed statement of compliance per model, printing a start month and an end month, because UK product security regulations require a stated support period. OnePlus publishes a table of product names and end dates under the same law. Google publishes a fixed window, seven years for the Pixel 8 and later and five for the Pixel 6 and 7 generations, plus the on-sale dates the window is counted from, so a Pixel's end date is arithmetic on two published figures. Rows where the maker printed the month itself are marked as such.
Does a longer support window make a phone better?
It makes it cheaper to own over time, which is not the same thing. A long window is worth real money because it delays the replacement, and it is worth most on a phone you intend to keep. It says nothing about the camera, the screen, the battery or the performance, and a phone with a long window that you replace after two years has given you none of the benefit.
Does the countdown start when I buy the phone?
No. Support windows run from the date the model first went on sale, so the months shown here are the months remaining from today regardless of when anyone bought their handset. This is why a discounted previous-generation phone shows fewer months left than its headline support figure suggests: part of the window was spent before it reached the shelf.
