Weekly poll results: half of you are already on Android 15, but many are not so lucky | Infinium-tech

Last week we asked you if your phone has received Android 15 update so far. There are many already, which is encouraging to see, but it is not all Rosie.

More than 40% of the people who respond to our pole have Android 15 running on their phones – or the implementation of the manufacturer of Android 15 instead. Nearly one -third of the voters are still waiting, even though the first update started from October (which was for Pixel, of course).

Widely, 20% – one of every five voters – a phone is not eligible for V15. Extended software support window is a relatively new trend and there are nothing-old phones that are out of the update program.

For example, the Galaxy S20 series from 2020 will no longer get any kind of, even safety patches updates. It marks the end of the 5 -year support window. The modern Galaxy model will be updated to 6 years (including OS updates, not only including security patch) if they are mid-rangers and 7 years if they are flagships. Hopefully, it will reduce the number of people with non-upgradable phones in the future-until the hardware still works, why not use it till then?

We also asked you how much you take care of running the latest OS version. It turns out that you care a lot – this is the option chosen by half voters. Nearly a fifth topical delay is ready to ignore, but it is clear that timely releases are important.

Then there are people with a high-back-back approach-just want to just want the latest security patch, others do not even care about it. However, both groups are clearly in minority.

We have mentioned the vendor-specific versions of Android above. According to the comments, those people can have a major impact of how the value of the OS update is considered – with some skins, it is a very noticeable change, with others you can barely tell.

This affects whether people care for the OS update. Nevertheless, most people want the latest software and they do not like to wait for it – and very soon they will wait for Android 16.
