Security Updates for Android are usually created by Google for 3 years. With Security Updates it is the choice of the vendor (Google, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Lenovo, Asus, Huawei, Nokia, Sony, and others) to take the updated code provided by Google and build it for their phones, it is then the choice of the Cell Provider if they will allow the update on the device and that it will not affect their cellular services (voice and data). Google updates their devices for about 5 years (including new releases), Samsung updates their devices for about 4 years (including new releases), from date the product is released.
