Nexus 5 and 4

[itguyjax8430]

I didn't see anything about the Nexus 5 or 4 getting N. Anyone know if they are?

I believe that Google is considering it for the 5, but not I think for the 4.

Nexus 4 didn't get marshmallow did it?

No, though I believe there's a custom ROM.

Neither will be getting Android N.

Neither will be getting Android N.

And you know this because....?

Are they eligible devices for the beta program? Nope. The N4 is EOL and the N5 will continue to get security updates after MM. Just like N is the last version of Android the N6 will see, but will continue to get security updates for one year after N. Google announced this last year.

OK, but as I recall the Nexus 7 (2013) didn't get the M beta.
Now it's got 6.0.1.

Google stated on numerous occasions that 2 years after device release is end of the road considering updates (security updates should go more).

Yeah I know they said that, and the n5 probably won't get n.

But still, as of right now, I don't think anyone can say "the n5 will not get n" as if it's a definitive answer.

I sure hope you're right, as I'm still proud owner of N5. If nothing else, N will surrely arrive via CyanogenMod.
