Even when going with official Google phones: my Nexus 5 is way out of date OS-wise.
- pta2002 7y agoYour Nexus 5 came out 7 years ago, it's unreasonable to expect that the latest Android would even run properly on it when the rest of the world has moved on.
- arkh 7y ago> it's unreasonable Is it? Slower than on more recent ones I agree. But processors architecture and components has not changed a lot. If Microsoft manages 10 years on wildly more diverse hardware with their OS, I don't see why it is not possible on official Google phones.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoWhy? A 7 year old midrange PC or laptop will run latest Windows or Linux just fine.
- baq 7y agomy iphone 6s receives iOS updates to this day. it eats through the battery like there's no tomorrow but it works well otherwise.
- kuschku 7y agoMy Google Pixel 1 stopped getting even security updates recently, and it's the last flagship Google phone with headphone port.
