Oppo Wants to Offer Extended Updates

This new update cycle is meant for global users. But before you get too excited, there’s one thing to note. Oppo says that there will be 4 years of ColorOS updates so we don’t know if this will also include new Android versions. There are chances thatnew ColorOS iterations might come in regularly but will be based on old Android versions. For instance, Oppo might release the ColorOS 14 based on Android 13 as part of the new update policy.

Nonetheless, this new update will give neck-to-neck competition to Samsung, which already provides users with four years of major Android updates, and may eventually persuade more OEMs to adopt this strategy as a standard. We can expect similar changes to the update cycle by Realme soon. Outside of the Android ecosystem, it’s Apple that offers 5 years of major updates to the iPhones.

So, what are your thoughts on the new update policy by Oppo? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
