One of the major problems Android is the fragmentation of the operating system. With more and more devices on the market, it is difficult to have a uniform version.
We always had special care of their equipment and has managed to keep, these, Android updated. But because even these have a finite useful life, now came the official information of the support end dates.
After the problems encountered last year in which the Stagefright showed that Android could take account, it has been proven that Google had no way to guarantee the security updates for your system. Soon he created the mechanisms to release monthly updates, the various brands have made.
But Google also has the problem of differing versions of its operating system, which is not limited to manufacturers, affecting also their own equipment.
to clarify unequivocally that the update period that gives Nexus devices, has now released information about the “expiration dates” of the same.
| Device | No Android version updates guaranteed after |
|---|---|
| Nexus 6P | September 2017 |
| Nexus 5X | September 2017 |
| Nexus 9 | October 2016 |
| Nexus 6 | October 2016 |
| Nexus 5 | October 2015 |
| Nexus 7 (2013) | July 2015 |
| Nexus 10 | November 2014 |
This is a table we will continue to be updated and to present the new equipment. It is, however, clear that the support periods are well defined and that Google will keep Android version upgrades for a minimum period of two years after the release of the device in Google Store.
Updates safety are guaranteed for a period of three years after the release, or for a period of 18 months from the date the Google Store has sold the device for the last time, whichever is longer.
Check and update the version of Android
