How long your Nexus will get updates?

Google Updated EOL Dates For Nexus Devices

After a certain period, Google can no longer guarantee that a device will get version updates or security patches. Google formalized the update guarantee for Nexus devices last year in the wake of the Stage Fright vulnerability, but now it's gone a step further by listing the approximate end-of-life (EOL) dates on its support site. Google added this data at some point in the last few weeks, but it has only now been noticed.

We already knew the approximate length of support for Nexus devices. Security updates are provided for three years from release or 18 months from when it leaves the Google Store, whichever is longer. The updates that everyone cares about are the move to a new version of Android, and those are available for at least two years from release date. Having the actual dates on Google's support page is helpful, though. Here's what's Google Support listed:

New Information About Google’s Allo Has Emerged

A week ago, reports emerged after a Redditor that had claimed to be a ‘third level beta tester’ for Google revealed that Messenger will be gradually phased out and that both Allo and Duo will be default apps on Android 7.0. It was also said that Hangouts will be phased out on mobile. XDA-Developers has since been contacted by a trusted source close to the matter, who wished to remain anonymous. We endorse the veracity of the claim given the source’s relationship to both XDA and Google. This source has revealed several key pieces of information about the future of Google’s messaging apps and the claims made on Reddit: There is no such thing as a third level beta tester. There are Googlers, trusted testers, and friends and family. Neither Hangout nor Messenger will be going anywhere. Allo only supports Allo messages at this time, there is no cross-app messaging, Google Voice or SMS support. Whether you’re a Hangouts and Messenger fan or not, Google is certainly d

Google Play Starts Showing Apps Actual Download Sizes

Google Play now displays the actual storage space a whole app or an upgrade will take up, so you don't accidentally download anything too big. If an update is only 2.91MB, it will show that exact figure right there in each app's detail box. That will give you the chance to reconsider your download or to free up some space before getting a particularly large game or VR experience. Besides displaying more accurate file sizes, Google also tweaked its Play Store algorithm to make updates even smaller. Most Android apps (98 percent of them) only download changes to their APK files when you update them, and those new files merge with the old ones. The updated algorithm will make those updates up to 50 percent smaller. Finally, Google's improved compression algorithms will reduce big games' file sizes, which could be as huge as 2GB, by around 12 percent. Those with high-end phones might not get much out of these changes, but they could make a big difference for
