Oneplus 11 ships with same support (5 years android updates + 4 years security updates)
1 comments

Wait, OnePlus provides 9 years of security updates? That is huge!

Apple’s update policy (and history) is one of the two reasons I own an iPhone (SE). The other reason being all the unremovable junkware I’ve had on Android phones in the past.

Next time I need to upgrade (hopefully 6+ years in the future), I will take another look at OnePlus.

The big issue is that OpenPlus is Chinese company, so they can install some backdoor on your phone anytime if CCP will ask.

It may be safer to have another phone without security updates.
