We've long held that Samsung is the undisputed king of system updates Android. This huge success was born a few years ago, when from a difficult beginning, Samsung became a company that basically surpassed Google and set the trends in updates.
Importantly, Samsung has not only increased the number of updates and accelerated the pace at which they release them, but also ensured that reliability does not suffer in any way in this regard. To recap: At the beginning of last year, Samsung made a major announcement. He confirmed that the flagships Galaxy and most mid-range devices will receive major OS updates every four years Android and they can enjoy security updates for five years. Since almost all other OEMs with the system Android they only offer two updates Androidu, she had a device Galaxy a clear lead. Well, until now.
OnePlus brand phones
However, it is not Google that provides three updates Androidwith your Pixels and four years of security updates. It's OnePlus. The company announced that starting next year, its selected phones will receive four operating system updates Android and security patches for five years, which is practically equal to the aforementioned commitment of Samsung. However, OnePlus has not yet specified which phones this new policy will cover. It's also important to note that OnePlus doesn't offer any tablets. Samsung is the only tablet manufacturer with the system Android, which promises them four system updates, at least with regard to the flagship models. This is one of the many reasons why the South Korean brand also produces single tablets with Androidem worth buying.

One would expect Google to set the bar the highest of all companies in this trend, given that it is Android after all, his, which also applies to Pixel phones. It cannot be denied that the device with the system Android Samsung is ruling the roost. It sells the most smartphones every year and has had the best software update policy so far. At least in the latter, OnePlus can only begin to match it, but the fact is that the company's phones do not have such a global reach, as well as the reputation of the brand. It simply means that Samsung's update policy is providing its benefits to a much larger number of people around the world. In any respect, it is good that the competition is trying. If she wants to grow, she has no choice.
