Samsung’s bold promise last year to provide three years of Android upgrades was warmly received. In contrast, OnePlus’ revelation that its Nord series phones are only getting one year’s worth was heavily criticized. Fragmentation has always been a problem on Android, but it was something only advanced users and developers used to worry about. These days, however, even regular consumers have become more discerning about what Android version their phones are running and when they will get the next update. As a result, manufacturers, especially the big ones, have to step up their Android upgrade game because of user demand and because it has never been more important to deliver the latest version of Android to everyone as soon as possible.
