Nexus always had a soft corner in the
hearts of people who swear by their Android powered phones. One of the reasons
being, these are generally the ones that get updated first.
The update cycle for any phone, in this
case, Nexus will not continue indefinitely. An update on Nexus’s support page,
released the time till when the updates for their favourite Nexus model phone
can be updated.
As per their page, Google cannot
guarantee support for 5X and 6P beyond September 2017. In other words, they
would just receive the Android Update this year and possibly any other updates
in the next year.
The Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 will be getting
support till October 2016 which would mean that they would receive the update
of Android N if it launches by then.
Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 10‘s
updates can no longer be guaranteed.
Coming to the aspect of security
patches, the company states that “For the longer of 3 Years from availability
or 18 months from when the Google last sold the device”.
This in simpler words would mean that
the company would provide security patches to any model till 3 years after its
launch or for 18 months after the last sale of the handset whichever is the
earliest.
