Consider it unlikely. I have a flagship Verizon device stuck on 4.1.1, this is true of my previous Android device.
The carriers seem to want a model where you replace your device regularly to get the newer software....
- Achshar 13y agoLol, Funny how we have very different standards for stuck. I would not consider 4.1.1 "stuck" any time soon. I have gingerbread on 800mhz, 420x840. I would LOVE to be "stuck" on 4.1.1. Google chrome and Google Now seem like such neat things.
- aray 13y agoWith a device like that surely you must be eligible for a carrier-provided upgrade device. What device is it, and do you just like it more than anything more recent?
- tl 13y agoI wonder how many people are effectively stuck on older devices because Verizon wants to strip away unlimited plans (Verizon ended unlimited data in May 2012 and you have to switch to a limited plan to get the carrier subsidy).
- mey 13y agoThe phone I have is a HTC Droid DNA, I bought it out of contract to keep my unlimited data. (~$600) The only thing keeping me on Verizon is there excellent coverage in rural areas, it certainly isn't support, cost or devices.
- Achshar 13y agoI am not on a carrier plan, we don't have subsidised phones in my country. We pay the full value. And I can't afford to buy a new one ATM.
