Nokia has been the timeliest about pushing out updates too, beating Google to the punch by a few weeks for the December Android security patches recently. Realistically, the Nokia 6 will probably have modern Android updates longer than any of the Nexus or Pixel line.
- Spare_account 9y agoIs this reliable? My choice of next phone wad going to be Pixel due to the importance I place on timely updates. Has Nokia committed to beating Google on terms of handset support lifetime?
- Nokinside 9y agoNokia phones have two years of Android updates guaranteed.
- Grazester 9y agoGoogle is two prior to the Pixel 2. With the Pixel 2 they committed to three. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/4/16403922/google-pixel-2-phone-android-update-schedule https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/4/16403922/g...
- nikanj 9y agoAnd how do you enforce that guarantee? I remember when they guaranteed years of updates for the Lumia 800, and then the Lumia 1020. If they stop the updates, you can participate in a class-action lawsuit, and get a Nokia ballpoint pen (ink not included) after eleven years.
- Nokinside 9y agoMicrosoft is not good at keeping promises. Google + HMD Global seems more credible combination.
- dethstar 9y agoThis was the reason I bought a Nokia and I was very happy already participating on the beta program to get Oreo for my Nokia 5. However the poor support (and by that I mean, none at all and saying that's google's issue when on all my other Android 8 Motorola devices it worked perfectly) of Android Auto made me ditch it.
