Be sure to take the update promise with a large grain of salt. I received my Blue Life One X in the first part of January this year with a promise of Marshmallow update around the end of first quarter. Well I, m still waiting.Must add I, m quite happy with the phone. Very good phone for half the price of this one. Do not appreciate getting lied too.

Windows can do it because it is extremely modular. Even if OEMs were to make changes like they do with android with their own launchers and such it would still be able to update. Google may be working on something similar, who knows.

                  "It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box, but will be updated to Marshmallow before the year ends. "
                  After that no update to Android N for sure.

                    Well, maybe the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) is better than the Energy XL.

                          MTK6753 is really bad cpu. Why are you willing to pay this much for this POS, when you can get SD820 for a little higher price.
