Android OEMs are slowly, but steadily improving their software update policies to offer more platform and security updates to their devices. While Google and Samsung are currently in the lead, offering 7 platform upgrades and 7 years of security updates for their latest flagships, OnePlus has shown significant improvements over the last few years. The Chinese OEM has promised 4 Android version updates and 5 years of patches for its flagship OnePlus 12, and it’s now one-upping its software update commitment with its upcoming mid-ranger.
OnePlus recently took to X (formerly Twitter) and confirmed that it will offer 4 platform upgrades and 6 years of security updates for the OnePlus Nord 4. That’s pretty impressive for a mid-range device, as most OEMs offer a maximum of 3 Android updates and 3 years of patches for their budget and mid-range devices.
