How many "major" android version updates is OnePlus 2 going to get, officially, from OnePlus?
Will it get Android N?
I read that OnePlus One struggled to even get a stable Lollipop 5.1 build, for a long time!
Anyway, atleast it is one of the officially supported devices of CyanogenMod and the others.
I've ordered my OnePlus 2, but this is the only thing that's worrying me.

First things first it is android M
And why worry about future android versions the phone is now 2 months old?
OnePlus is a very young company and I expect they would like to have their customers to buy another phone that is made by them.
And the fact that you paid half the price of a similar spec phone it is the least of my worries.
I have owned a lot of smartphones and my opinion is if i get two years of official support from OnePlus I would be very happy.

I don't think that OnePlus has made any commitment regarding either of its devices.

hi
see below link one plus has discountinued the X
sad news we are dead end of the road for US :crying::crying::crying:
link : http://www.fonearena.com/blog/18830...now-focus-on-true-flagship-line-only-ceo.html
We'll still get N and I may end up picking up a Nexus down the road anyway. End of the road for OnePlus but most definitely not for us
I'm getting another year out of this at least
Great phone though. I have a few tricks up my sleeve still
That means NO Android M OxygenOS 3.0
So that also means OPX get no Android M OxygenOS 3.0 ? OnePlus One allready got Marshmellow for testers sound Kind of UNFAIR.
Anyway Installed Resurrection Remix 5.7.0 Android 6.0.1
If this Happends that 5.1.1 is the Last Update Unfair Support for the Onyx.
Thanks #OnePlus
No..

No... They are going to provide support for at-least two year after product launch ...so will be getting MM for sure (don't know when ) and may be "N"...for Oxygen OS
Hopefully :/ , i can't wait for OxygenOS i think we will get Android N soon and when not Official by OP than by CyanogenMod 14 or AOSP based Roms
it just means there will be no Oneplus X2. that is all. it does not affect oneplus X in anyway.
I wonder if the opened kernel sources would give a boost to oneplus X custom ROM development as well?
It means no mid spec device in the same form factor. It doesn't mean there'll be no high spec device in the same form factor.
However, having used a OnePlus One for a few days, and having had the OnePlus X for about a week now, I'll be in absolutely no rush to buy another one of their devices. There are far better Chinese options these days.

With a NON-ios-y-skinned Android and this much Developer friendly? I don't know any Chinese OEMs.

The China-only H2OS stock ROM reeks of IOS envy.

You really believe this? Maybe the phone will get 2 or 3 more security updates, but that's all... it's dead in OnePlus' eyes, only the community will keep this phone alive.

It means there will be no an OnePlus X2. OnePlus X still maintained.
I am thinking of buying the nexus 6p in the upcoming flipkart sale. If I remember correctly, it was released with Android M. Now it has got N. Google has promised 2 new versions to each phone. So will the 6p get Android O whenever it releases?
I know Pixels are around the corner but I am quite sure that I won't be able to afford it right now.

Here is the EOL of the Nexus products.
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705#nexus_devices
Looks like "September 2017" for the 6P. But there will be lots of custom ROMs after the EOL. I love my Nexus and will not be upgrading to a new phone for years.
Yes we should get Android O if that is your question.

That is what I love and hate about Android phones. It's almost as if Google is bullying you into buying a new phone every 2 years. The hardware is more than capable of running newer Android versions unless future releases are 10 years ahead of the hardware,which I doubt will ever be the case in our lifetime. Google should really think about those of us who don't wanna buy a new phone every 2 years. I'm generally speaking from those people who do not root to get custom builds.

Talk now is the S6 will be getting Android 7 soon, the S8 will be out in a few months and yet Samsung is sitting back releasing Android 7 through a bottle neck...........if they want to treat customers in this manner fine but I wont be party to it again, like last year when other countries and networks got Android 6 before the BTU beta users!

Well you could argue a few ways.
One - would you rather have rushed software with bugs, or tested software that works?
Two - there are a few models from the Samsung line so newer should get priority over older.
Three - Samsung should release less devices to show work on upgrades for existing users. Most people will upgrade at end of contract, which in most cases is 18 months to two years. So having a new product every two years will lead to better tech than the predecessor and a more unified user base with devices and more satisfied customers.
Sadly, business works on ever growing profit margins, so having a two year gap in growth would look bad for investors and other companies could surpass Samsung in growth in that time making the new models cost more to make up the previous years loss.
You could argue yes but its even out of the Oneplus 3 now, I wont be wasting hundreds with Samsung again..........oh and it wasn't really an argument you gave because Samsung has tested it, their just dripping the final release so only a handful of people have it

Me too. I regret my decision of choosing S7E over Pixel now.

Well, I'm going to post from the other side of the tacks on this one. I came to the S7 Edge from a 6P. I was even part of the beta program and got updates faster than anyone else. You know what? Whoopdeedo. There was nothing even in the last release version of N (7.1.1) that I had on the 6P that this S7 Edge can't and didn't already do long before it was put into vanilla Android. The upgrade to N will come to the S7 Edge shortly. Even here in Canada where updates seem to take forever from carriers, it is noted as coming soon, so we should see it in the next month or so.
But really, this phone is already performing so much better for me that the 6P ever did and has everything software wise and more than I ever had with straight N Android. Not sure why the updates are seemingly so important to some. This phone works great right now and my battery life is off the charts compared to the 6P on the latest version of N. Besides, N is coming to our phones shortly as well. As someone mentioned above, because it is taking longer, at least it won't be riddled with bugs and battery drain like on the 6P for me.

It wasn't an argument. I was just giving an explanation on the possible scenarios.
You have to understand that carriers may release their updates later than Samsung., even thigh Samsung have tested.

Yes we've been told this since December
Just wait. It's not hard, the update will come when it is due. If you are that eager for it then flash the BTU version. Samsung has their own way of releasing software, just like every other OEM.

Well, don't speak for everyone. I'm with Rogers here in Canada and they JUST posted "Coming Soon" on their website. So it's only been about a week or so since my carrier has said it is coming. Not Samsung's fault the carriers take forever to get their crap in there and test their version.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/news/575565/Android-Nougat-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-update-release-date
Like I said I wont be giving hundreds to a supplier that extracts the urine like this, I might even get the Oneplus 4 when its out, they've released it for the 3 now
I got fed up waiting for Singapore to update to Nougat, so I just flashed, with Odin, the Malaysian Nougat update, using my Home CSC. Worked perfectly, not data lost. My phone is not rooted
Well, the unlocked version in US is independent on carriers and does not has Nougat yet. It is not the carrier's fault if Samsung has multiple versions of the same phone and decides to update only a subset of all the versions.

No doubt there are bugs they can't fix and that's the real question: why samsung with their multimillion budget to hire skilled devs can't provide quality software update in time? Not to mention how many people replaced they catching fire note 7 with s7e... good strategy to treat all of them like that. Let's not forget that in 2017 even the normal user is becoming more and more aware about updates and their importance about his experience. After all, they can afford to hire more than one A team working on their flagship phone and attach it to s7/s7e development. If the patch BTU update works well I can guess they will start to roll out around the mid/end next week. Still, for me this is a really bad rollout, especially if we consider the beta test period.
dude stop whining and get a custom rom. ive been having nougat for over a week on my s7e now

Is there a custom rom for the Snapdragon version witg Nougat? Don't think so. If there is, will be happy to install.

So the previews are out for official devices..
And I hate to be that guy, but... We have the same SoC as the Pixel. Can it be ported without the source code?
If I'm being a derp, feel free to close/delete the thread.
I wanna know too.
Probably it can't! Having the same soc doesn't mean nothing, many devices had nexus 6p soc (SD 810) but none of them had the previews ported to them, there is no sources to build it.
And believe me, there's nothing interesting on the O preview for now, is far away from being stable.
No.
Even if it were possible, it would be reference only (not stable) considering its base is a developer preview (not even beta) you'd be best watching a YouTube video....
https://youtu.be/soeiJsnSzu0
But i highly doubt it is achievable and most certainly not worth any time or effort if it is.....
Just wait and buy the new Pixel (or whatever it may be called) then you'll have O most probably.....
Or buy a pixel & flash the available image......But even then i wouldn't use it as a daily....

i see it this way: same stuff ,different name
I believe the developer builds are available to OEMs. Oneplus could make those beta builds but I wouldn't hold my breath. You'll just have to wait 3 years like the rest of us.

No,it's not possible.
OnePlus was pretty quick to put nougat and 7.1 on the 3T. Since they seem to have dropped the older phones, mostly the ones that dont support dash charge, they could have more manpower to put O on the 3T and the upcoming OnePlus 4/5. I'm optimistic about them updating although nougat hardly added anything i really care about. It appears O doesn't add much either. So even if they didn't do it in a swift manner, who cares.
When for 1+3T
dont spect anything before september for one plus 3/3t

The OP2 doesn't even have Nougat so I wouldn't be surprised if the OP3/T never gets O. It'll probably be on the OP5 in January 2018 at the earliest.
