While there wasn't much in the way of surprises when it came to the phones, Samsung did tease the Galaxy Ring, its latest health and fitness product.

In recent years, it has provided its iPhones with six iOS version updates, besting much of the Android space easily. That's not to say its biggest competitors have been slacking off: Google, OnePlus, and Samsung have all committed their flagship devices to four or more years of OS updates and five or more of security patches.
