This is why I will only ever buy the OnePlus brand at this point. I used to buy Nexus until they started skyrocketing the price (Ting user here) not to mention my last nexus bricked itself when the battery got low.
- nextos 9y agoIs OnePlus good at updates? With CopperheadOS going non-free, but still open, and Pixel getting an order of magnitude more expensive than Nexus I'm looking for alternatives to run LineageOS.
- dogma1138 9y agoNo it’s not the one plus one was killed very quickly. Not to mention it has its own privacy concerns atm.
- coding123 9y agoYou know they are not perfect, I've seen them between 2 and 5 months behind, typically 2 months though. But it beats Samsung and all the big brands - they update all their older phones not just the latest.
- gcbw2 9y agoThis comment is absolutely meaningless. You realize none of the models you mention have open sourced drivers, right? thanks to two or three companies that refuse to share their super secret (ha, it is all commodity) code to power the modem, camera, digitizer, SoC, etc. All those devices will continue to only be supported for <4 years (in the very best case!) and then off to increase the "outdated devices" count or the landfill!
- petecox 9y agoThe model I'm using, Nexus 4, was released 5 years ago to the day. Via a community ROM it still receives monthly AOSP security patches, albeit on a prehistoric 3.4 kernel and vendor abandoned binary blobs. If I had a spare $600 I might be inclined to support the librem-5 efforts of running a mainstream kernel with lifetime updates.
