Samsung S6: No more updates 18 months after purchase

Bought a Samsung smartphone for my wife. Should be the most recent. That was the S7 - it was on fire and was withdrawn. So for about 400 EUR the "mature" predecessor S6 bought on recommendation. Delivered on 09/28/2016. Good device, works perfectly, woman is satisfied.
At the beginning of April 2018 the message: Support for S6 will be discontinued. 10 days later this is put into perspective. Still: No promise of regular updates, which, I suspect, will soon run out without a hitch.
For my part, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING A SINGLE PRODUCT FROM Samsung. I had already ordered an A6 tablet - based on my experience with the S6, I sent it back within the withdrawal period.
