Even if you buy the latest flagship phone from one of the major Android manufacturers, your new device won&#8217;t always be supported. In fact, you typically have only a few years to enjoy the device before it reaches its end-of-life. Some of the best companies for software updates include\u00a0Google and Samsung, which offer seven years of major Android updates, but that&#8217;s not always the case for every Android brand.\u00a0That said, since companies release smartphones every year, there are a variety of Android phones that are set to officially stop receiving software or security updates in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you have any of these phones, it&#8217;s a clear sign that it&#8217;s time to start shopping around for a new smartphone because using a phone with outdated software is a security risk. For each phone we&#8217;ve listed, we also discuss different alternatives you should consider when you need to upgrade, to save you the hassle of sifting through dozens of pages on company websites or e-commerce websites in search of the perfect model.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro<\/h2>\n<p>&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2196044\/android-phones-losing-support-this-year\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Android Phones That Will Stop Getting Support In 2026 https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2196044\/android-phones-losing-support-this-year\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-22 22:23:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279083,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/5-android-phones-that-will-stop-getting-support-in-2026\/l-intro-1781609667.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,86,57,61],"class_list":["post-279080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-samsung","tag-security","tag-security-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279080"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279080"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":279085,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279080\/revisions\/279085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
