Flera tillverkare har börjat lova oerhört många år med uppdateringar till sina smartphones. OnePlus är inget undantag. Däremot utlovar de inte lika långt mjukvarustöd gällande uppdateringar som exempelvis Google och Samsung, och detta är anledningen:
Simply offering longer software update policies completely misses the point. It’s not just software update policies that are important to the user, it’s the fluency of your phone’s user experience too. Imagine your phone is a sandwich. Some manufacturers are now saying that the filling in their sandwich — their phone’s software — will still be good to eat in seven years’ time. But what they’re not telling you is that the bread in the sandwich — the user experience — might be moldy after four years. Suddenly a seven-year software update policy doesn’t matter, because the rest of your experience with the phone is terrible. When our competitors say their software policy will last seven years, remember that their phone’s battery may not.
