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:

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 no...

OnePlus confirms no Nougat update for the OnePlus 2

After much speculation and wishful thinking from owners, OnePlus has officially confirmed to Android Authority that the Nougat update will not be delivered for the OnePlus 2. The refusal to update comes after promises of 24 months of update support in the past and an outright assertion from the company last year that the OnePlus 2 would get Android N. Nevertheless, OnePlus told that “customer service has been telling customers this for a little while” and that “we’re happy about what we’re doing with software. We already confirmed Android O will come for the OnePlus 3 and 3T. So [no Nougat for the OnePlus 2] isn’t new and we think people were aware of it.” This news shouldn’t actually be a surprise to anyone. A post on XDA-Developers back in May proves that the company has been informing customers of the OnePlus 2’s end-of-life situation, but only when specifically asked. If you’re keeping track, this means t...
