OnePlus made the right move with its new update policy, but there’s still a long road ahead

Earlier this week, OnePlus caught the Android world by surprise when it announced a new device update schedule. Beginning next year, select smartphones will get four — count them, four — major OS upgrades, along with five years of security patches. It’s excellent PR for a company, but unfortunately, the devil’s in the details on this one. A closer look at the announcement proves OnePlus is still behind the times, albeit a half-step ahead of Google.
