This is a really low bar. Enough Android device makers never provide updates. Got a Nexus One a few years ago, Google updated it for a grand total of 13 months before deciding it was "too old". Of course I didn't get the Nexus One until most of the way through that time period so my Google phone was updated for perhaps six months, not exactly a great user experiance.
- fsloth 11y agoI bought my Note III when it came out in 2013 and have had constant support for it from Samsung. Google dropping support for their own device in their own platform really does not speak well.
- NotOscarWilde 11y agoIndeed. I am still a Galaxy Nexus user and a quote from a Google Support page (which doesn't exist anymore, it seems) pains me to this day: > "Galaxy Nexus, which first launched two years ago, falls outside of the 18-month update window when Google and others traditionally update devices." 18 months is far too little, especially if you do not buy a phone on day one.
