I was recently looking for support cycles for Android phones but failed to find anything concrete. Can you point me to where Samsung have documented their support cycle?

This was their original announcement article https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-sets-the-new-standar...

This is their current security update list (not os updates) https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

"... And select devices launched in 2019 or later will be supported with firmware security updates for a minimum of four (4) years following their global launch, while select newer devices will receive up to five (5) years of security updates."

It's a good start I'd say, considering that Samsung is a major player in the android phone space.

On their product pages for each phone, expand the section to compare phone models and it's listed for each in the Security section.

I wasn't looking at the US website. Samsung don't have that information listed in the equivalent page for my local market.
