Frequently Asked Questions by Android Users
Question 1: If and when will my smartphone get new update?
Answer:
No one knows the answer to this except the manufacturers. It all depends on the smartphone company whether to release an update or not.
Generally speaking, the more expensive your device is, the better are its chances of getting updated to the next major release of Android. OEMs like Google, Motorola, OnePlus and LG keep most of their devices up to date. If we talk about Samsung, it doesn’t care much about the old devices once they launch a new product.
When you will get update also depends on your carrier and the amount of customization that your device manufacturer has done on top of the Android OS. More the customization, the longer will they take to push new updates.
