Repair Score › Software support
Phones with the longest software support
EU-registered phones and tablets ranked by guaranteed OS-update years — a regulatory minimum declared by the manufacturer — built on EPREL data, as of 2026-06-29.
The longest guaranteed software support here runs until at least 2037 — the Ainuevo Tab S9.
Ranked by guaranteed OS updates
Ordered by the OS-update guarantee floor — "until at least" (a regulatory minimum; real support usually lasts longer).
What does the "until" date mean?
It is a regulatory minimum, measured from when the model stops being sold — not a hard switch-off — so real-world support usually lasts longer. A higher date means more years of security and operating-system updates, which keeps the phone safe and usable for longer.
"Reliable" can mean two things: how rarely a phone develops faults, and how long it stays usable and fixable. Repair Score doesn't hold fault-rate data, so we don't rank phones by breakage — we use official EU data to show what we can verify: repairability class, years of software updates, and battery endurance.
Frequently asked questions
Which phones get the longest software support?
Among the EU-registered devices tracked here, the Ainuevo Tab S9 has the longest guaranteed software support — operating-system updates until at least 2037. That figure is a guaranteed minimum declared in the EPREL registry, so real support usually lasts longer.
When does my phone stop getting updates?
EPREL records an "until at least" date — a guaranteed minimum measured from when the model stops being sold, not a hard cut-off. Open a specific device page to see its floor; support often continues past that date.
Which phones get 7 years of updates?
Several current flagships now guarantee unusually long software support — see the ranked table above for the exact "until at least" dates. Remember the figure is measured from end-of-sale, so it is a floor rather than a fixed number of years from launch.
How is the software-update date decided?
It is the manufacturer-declared minimum in the EU EPREL registry — the period they commit to providing operating-system updates. Real-world support often exceeds this declared minimum.
