Whatever phone you buy the android update only for 2 years. Then there will be zero update or just occassional security patch update. Or buy a new phone after 2 year. Isnt that hard. Sell your old phone. I doubt your phone still running on Froyo.

People are blaming Qualcomm while it is Google that intentionally put more stringent requirements that disallow SD800 devices to get Nougat. Google is to blame here, not Qualcomm. Sony had beta Nougat working properly on Z3, yet they couldn't release it since it would violate Google's certification. I don't understand why people keep blaming Qualcomm, giving Google a free pass.

Yet the only counter you have was the Pixel, which I pointed out is a lame excuse since it is not a common device around the world.

Hell, I don't even like the Pixel that much. Learn to read before you comment, and then we'll talk. I said that every Android manufacturer has their own update terms.

Anonymous, 11 Jan 2017Xiaomi lost my respect because of the community. They can't... moreSorry, but what kind of features do newer versions Android have that you must have? Do you even know what Nougat brings over MM? When Android was still new, getting the latest version is important. Today, not so much. Security patches is more critical, especially with Google making older hardware obsolete with newer versions. So I give Xiaomi kudos for willingly supporting their older cheap devices. Compare that to other OEMs that don't even care.

It depends on the OEM, not the system itself. Most OEMs release updates at different times. Some bring them earlier, some bring them later. If you buy a Google-built product, like the Pixel phone or the Pixel C, you'll get the update as soon as Google announces the date, on that date.

I'm just saying you won't get future updates on apps you have, that's a good thing sometimes, Cus updates sometimes destroy the purpose they were meant to do, chill fella !

Doesn't mean your phone won't work anymore, your apps won't be compatible for future app updates, so if it's not broken then then don't fix it, it's no big deal, just a normal day at the office Realy!
