3 years for a device expected to cost north of $1500? I'd demand better from a Dell Laptop running Windows and retailed at a similar price. I see no reason why I should expect so much less from a phone.
This is just not good enough. Shame on them for doing it, shame on us for accepting it.

Its obvious flagship grade phones gets android first then mediocre and lowest of the low at last.
You should buy MI 11 ultra or Mi 10 ultra for constant updates.
Stop making useless excuses.

I'm still yet to see Android 11 OS update for my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro. Even the Mi 9 series also hasn't received Android 11 OS update whereas its equivalent rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S10e/S10/S10+ and Sony Xperia 1 alongside Sony Xperia 5 to name just a few already enjoying Android 11 update for ages now.

Considering that Microsoft only started to lay their hands on Android OS for the first time last year with the Surface Duo, I wouldn't be surprised to see it yet to receive the latest OS update. It really is just a matter of time before Microsoft fully understands how Android OS works.
P.S I definitely remember the Nokia X lineup, but that was released during the time when Microsoft owned Nokia.

Also, Xiaomi never bothers with OS update. They only care about MIUI and that's not a part of OS update. Some MIUI 12.5-powered Xiaomi phones are still on Android 10 for crying out loud!

Google, Apple and lazy app developers were a big part of that. I used Nokia with Windows mobile for years and still love the flip tiles on the home screen. A lot of stuff that Windows Mobile did is only just now showing up on Android and ios.

Well is that what consumers want to hear, or what Microsoft REALLY wants to do for themselves and this product?

For a $1500 smartphone, three years of update should be a bare minimum. Also, Microsoft should have ample experience playing with Android (though I'd rather wish the Surface Duo wiuld run on Windows instead).

if its just like their windows updates, don't bother with these shiitty promises. also, why isn't google sending updates to phones with no custom ui, like moto, nokia, the 2 microsoft duo and few other companies with stock android.
