Samsung wins litigation in the Netherlands | No system forced to update older models

After winning the lawsuit of the Dutch court, Samsung will not need to be forced to update the smart phone system sold for more than two years. Consumer protection organization Consumentenbond believes that Samsung should at least update the software within four years after the mobile phone begins to be sold. Regularly updated software can Resolve security issues, while older models of smartphones usually do not receive the latest updates.

Samsung’s mobile phone is installed with Google’s Android system, and Google periodically releases software updates that fix security vulnerabilities. These updates are provided to vendors, who then decide to provide them to customers.

Samsung claimed that it promised to provide software updates within two years after the handset was sold. The court rejected the organization’s request that Consumentenbond’s claim involves 'future behavior' and 'cannot adopt'.
