After Samsung and OnePlus, now it is Oppo who joins the trend of expand support time for mobile models by updating its software update policies, committing to offer four years of system updates and five years of global security updatesbut yes, focusing on certain flagship models launched from the year 2023.
The company indicates in its statement that the intention of this update of its update policies is to deliver “more stable and durable” smart experiences to users around the world.
Reducing unfounded obsolescence
At the moment, the mobile models that are going to be able to benefit from the new update policies are unknown, although it is possible that we will find out about them at the time they are going to be officially presented.
The policy change comes at a time when the company has also shared that it has noticed a significant increase in the rollout of Android 13 under its ColorOS13 customization layer over the previous version.
In this regard, he points out The deployment of Android 13 has been the fastest in history, already reaching 33 device models worldwide so far, 50% more in relation to the same period of time for the deployment of Android 12 with the layer of ColorOS 12 customization.
From Oppo they also point out that ColorOS, its customization layer, seeks “simplicity and comfort” for users of its different device models, betting on its design called Aquamorphic design and that, as can be guessed from the name, is inspired by Water.
Oppo also surpasses Google in terms of updates, considering that Google offers three years of system and five years of security updates, although Google also brings the updates to the most affordable devices.
Given the pace at which this trend is going, it is not surprising that other mobile companies are also going to join in over time so as not to be left behind and lose opportunities to those looking for devices that may have a longer support time.
