Of course, you also have Huawei that does only one major Android OS update, which is why our Huawei Oreo rollout roadmap doesn’t feature a ton of devices under the Android 8.0 supported list, but really, this is in stark contrast to what non-Chinese OEMs like Motorola, Samsung, Motorola and LG do, and is expected of them.

For example, even though Xiaomi kind-of has a weekly update program, but they won’t release more than one Android version upgrade version for their latest devices. It’s not uncommon between Chinese OEMs to take a hard stance on software updates. yes, there is a company called BBK Electronics in China, that owns Vivo, OnePlus, and one more smartphone name you have heard of, Oppo. If you want regular updates with new features and stuff, buy a phone from OEM that believes in it - you can look at OnePlus 5, which is a phone from Vivo’s sister concern, the OnePlus. Personally, I think they have got it right. I think Vivo completes understand that most people do not want their devices changed after an update, hence they are intentionally staying away from preparing and pushing out major updates for their phones, flagship or not.

And they aren’t wrong - in any gathering I go to where people know about my Android thing, I find myself mostly surrounded by people wanting to know how to disable software update notification because they don’t want it, or how to roll back to previous software because the phone was better before update. The majority of users in countries where Vivo has huge presence or wants to grow its market, do not want updates that change the way phone used to work. Mainly updates that changes things - and Android version updates (that we just love) are all about changing things. For one, not-so-techy users seriously do not want updates. No explanation really! Actually, there’s is a good explanation.īut jump into real world scenario, and you do find some really practical and believable reasons behind Vivo opting for such an software update policy. If it’s confusing, then that’s because it is.

They could launch the device in 2017 with Android 6.0 on-board - for perspective, know that Android 7.0 was released by Google in October 2016 - and would still not update it to Android 7.0 no matter what.Īnd the same company would seem it fitting to release some phones with Android 7.0 - heck, they even have phone with Android 7.1.1 and Android 7.1.2 pre-installed, of course with full integrated custom skin of theirs, the FunTouch OS, but they won’t release these upgraded builds to devices with Android 6.0 or Android 7.0.
