It depends on what you count as an old phone. It’s Galaxy S10 in this case, it’ll probably stop receiving updates soon.

The S10 stopped receiving Android security updates in March 2022. The issue here is with an issue with a SmartThings app update on Android 12. Not sure if there’s any Samsung devices that both run that version of Android and are still supported, and that’s likely why the issue wasn’t caught.
I suppose with an issue this serious, they’re probably compelled to fix it regardless of whether or not the affected devices are still supported.
