Thankfully, update policies have improved dramatically since then.Google and Samsung lead the pack these days, with both brands now consistently offering seven years of updates for nearly all of their phones and tablets. Even Motorola recently introduced its first device with a seven-year update, though it’s less clear if this was a one-off change or not.
