Final date unknown
Galaxy M04 is in Samsung's current quarterly security-update list (Galaxy M series). The list gives patch frequency only: Samsung publishes no final security-support date for this model there, so none is shown or inferred.

Official security-update list
Is Samsung Galaxy M04 still getting security updates?
Yes, as of September 24, 2026. Samsung Mobile Security lists Samsung Galaxy M04 for quarterly security updates. It is one of 19 models on Samsung's Galaxy M series quarterly list. That list does not give a last-update date for Galaxy M04, so DevLifeCheck shows the end date as not published and does not estimate one.

What quarterly updates mean for Galaxy M04
Galaxy M04 should get a security patch about once every three months, so a patch level up to three months old is normal. If yours is more than four months old, check for a pending update and ask your carrier or seller whether they block updates.
How to check the patch on Galaxy M04
Open Settings → About phone → Software information and read "Android security patch level". To install one, go to Settings → Software update → Download and install. Compare the month shown with the current month and the quarterly schedule above.
When will Galaxy M04 stop getting updates?
Samsung removes models from this list when their regular support period ends. Its general "up to 7 years" statement covers selected Galaxy devices, not specifically Galaxy M04, so it is not used as this model's date. If Galaxy M04 disappears from the list, this record will be rechecked.

What this Galaxy M04 record covers
This page is bounded to the recorded identity Galaxy M04 and the Samsung security-update scope list (market not specified) evidence scope. Dates and repair facts are not transferred to a similarly named carrier, regional or hardware variant unless its identifiers are explicitly covered by the cited source.
The marketed identity is recorded separately from any verified regional hardware code; missing fields are not evidence that a similar model shares the same support. The release-to-support interval is not calculated because one or both required dates are not documented.
No exact EPREL registration is approved for this record, so DevLifeCheck does not borrow an EU repairability score or battery result from a related model.

Sale and cloud-service evidence
- End of sale

- Cloud-service end
- Not documented · No reviewed date
“Not documented” means DevLifeCheck has no approved value for this field. A lifecycle-policy review never authorizes copying or inferring a firmware version or another lifecycle date.
Identity and regional scope
- Marketed name
- Galaxy M04
- Primary model identifier
- Galaxy M04Match the marketed name first. 4G, 5G, e, s, Lite and Pro models are separate records; this list does not name regional hardware codes.
- Evidence scope
- Samsung security-update scope list (market not specified)
This record is not a universal “global variant.” Match the model number, sales market and carrier before applying a date to your phone. A materially different variant must receive its own reviewed lifecycle evidence.
How the support date was determined
Current Models for Quarterly Security Updates — Galaxy A, M and F series (consumer rows; Enterprise-only rows excluded). Samsung states the list is subject to change as regular support periods expire, and some carriers may deliver quarterly updates only. Being listed shows current patch frequency, not a support end date.

Latest firmware or patch
No model-and-region firmware ledger verified; the list states frequency, not the latest build.
Recall and safety screening
DevLifeCheck monitors CPSC, Safety Gate, UK OPSS, Health Canada. A monitored feed is not itself a “no recall” finding; dated device-specific results are listed separately below.
No exact marketed-name or model-code match found in the CPSC recall dataset. This US-only name screening is not proof that no recall exists; check the exact model, carrier and local regulator.
Recalls & Product Safety Warnings · United States · checked Sep 2026 ↗Repairability and battery
No model-specific repairability score or official battery-service cutoff has been reviewed for this record yet. Check the manufacturer's regional repair channel before buying parts or assuming service availability.
Each card shows only the facts published by its cited source. Do not compare iFixit scores, manufacturer playback estimates and EU-label measurements as if they used the same test.
Update cadence
Quarterly in Samsung Mobile Security's current list, checked 2026-09-24; carrier and regional delivery can differ
Known limitations and conflicts
Policy dates can conflict with carrier schedules, regional product-security statements and the exact hardware variant. No additional conflict has been approved for this record; that means “not documented,” not “none exist.”
Repair or replace factors
Open Settings → Software update → Download and install. Samsung reviews this list periodically and drops models as their support periods expire, so check the installed security patch level rather than assuming future updates.
- Support horizon: security support is recorded through Not documented.
- Evidence certainty: this is a official update-frequency list; final date unknown record with final date not published.
- Software visibility: the latest model/region-specific firmware is not yet documented, so it is not used as a positive signal.
- Repair data: no comparable model-specific repairability record is approved yet, so repair cost and parts availability must be checked separately.

How long will Galaxy M04 get security updates?

Will Galaxy M04 get more Android version upgrades?

Does this date apply to every Galaxy M04 model and region?
This record covers the marketed model in the Samsung security-update scope list (market not specified) scope. Carrier and regional variants can receive updates at different times, so match your exact model number before relying on it.
