According to rumors on the upcoming conference Google I / O Internet giant announced the new policy, the update device family Nexus. If the information source is correct, the system upgrade to newer versions of Android is expected to produce for them for only the first two years, and security patches as they become available will be coming for three years of the model, but not less than 18 months from the date of purchase of the gadget. These rules will apply not only to new devices, but already in service.

Previously, all – have the upcoming summer – the period of the hotfix is available over at the Nexus 7 (2012), support for Nexus 4 will continue until the autumn, and the owners of Nexus 10 can count on it before 2016.
