Ah yes, the Samsung that sells 5 different phones under the same model designation. Will be interesting to see if all the submodels and variations get updated or if carrier branded models will languish.
Nokia (HMD Global) has probably been the most reliable Android vendor in the Android One program for actually running long support cycles. Oneplus has been 'ok'. I have a Moto X4 that got 3 generations of official OS support and continues to get monthly security updates as well as a fully working LineageOS port to Android 10.
Nothing compares to first-gen iPhone SE though that is getting yet another year of updates. 6 major OS releases will have been supported...
- RealStickman_ 6y agoThe android community is still the most reliable with updates. (My oneplus 3 is still getting updates with LineageOS and so is the oneplus one)
- joecool1029 6y agoUltimately can't rely on this. The LOS devs are good but there's still going to be a point where blobs can't be adapted well or at all to new android major versions. Also specifically more on point with Samsung: They are a vendor that's notoriously bad to community support. I would not make purchasing decisions based on the hopes that the community is going to pick things up after Samsung decides to drop the ball.
