Question Android 11

[vrwrys]

When is the last security update for Android 11 and does your phone determine the end of service or is it across the board for all Android devices?

 

[fuzzylumpkin]

Actually, both.

It's mainly determined by your phone manufacturer...depending on the device you could still get a couple of years, or you could have never received one and never will.

Android versions do go end of life where they stop receiving play services updates, but that won't happen anytime soon for Android 11.

The phone manufacturers top staff informed me that I would be receiving an update and now a month later I'm hearing a different tune.And what do you mean by never will? Should I just get a new phone or will this one be ok?

Welcome to Android Central! What fuzzylumpkin means is that some phone manufacturers don't even support their devices with any updates at all -- these are typically the extremely cheap budget phones, as well as no-name or off-brand Chinese phones.

"Top staff"? What "top staff"? Like, the CEO?

I'd sure like to be able to get Samsung's CEO on the phone and discuss a few things.
