It’s 2022, but we’re still talking about the lack of updates on cell phones android🇧🇷 Fortunately, some companies, like samsung and OnePlus, are striving to put this matter behind them. Now, the Oppo informed that it will offer up to four versions of the system to its full-bodied smartphones.
The news came from a press release this Monday (20).
In a note, Oppo reported that its interface, ColorOS, will have a new update policy.
“This includes a commitment to secure four major ColorOS updates with five years of security patches for global users on select flagship models starting in 2023,” they announced.
The company, however, has not listed which devices will be eligible. He only informed that the planning will meet the most advanced smartphones that will be revealed from 2023 onwards.
This means that if a cell phone is announced with Android 13, the device will receive new versions of the operating system under ColorOS up to Android 17.
Also, even after the release of Android 17, this would not be the end of the line for models. After all, owners will still have another year of security fixes, as patches will be offered for up to five years.
In other words: the lifespan of some Oppo products has been extended considerably.
“Through the new policy, Oppo aims to bring more durable and stable smart experiences to global users by continuing to develop ColorOS,” concluded🇧🇷
Oppo, OnePlus and Samsung get ahead…
Android is an excellent operating system. The software, on the other hand, has a problem of years, lagging behind iOS: the lack of updates. However, some manufacturers began to observe the situation more calmly, and began to offer solutions.
This is the case with Samsung. In February, the manufacturer informed that the Galaxy S22, S21, Z Flip 3 and more would receive four Android versions and five years of security updates🇧🇷 Before, cell phones and tablets were covered by only three generations of the software🇧🇷
OnePlus was not left out. According to XDA-Developersthe manufacturer also promised four versions of Android to selected models.
…but Apple still comes out ahead
On the other hand, Apple is still unbeatable in this regard. Released to all in October 2022, iOS 16 is even available for iPhone 8a cell phone released about five years ago.
Last year, the company also released iOS 15 to iPhone 6Smodel revealed in 2015. That is, the smartphone spent more than six years being updated.
Apple even gave a life to some discontinued editions.
Among them is the iPhone 5s, a model presented almost ten years ago, which received the update to iOS 12.5.6 in September 2022🇧🇷
