Before I buy the GNEX,how many updates will the Gnex get?

[bberrynewbie84]

I was wondering how many android OS updates will the gnex get over two years? Jelly bean and the next update after that?

Yes. This is Google's baby for now.

It will get all of them and it will get them 1st.

I would assume that it would at least get the next two. But it might be more. The reason I say this is because the GNex is a dual core OMAP. I think the processor speed and type are the biggest factors in which phones get updated. I don't think there's too much that Google could add to Android that a dual core processor wouldn't be able to handle.

Depends on what is required then. The Nexus One isn't getting ICS. I assume this is hardware related. So I think it really depends on how fast hardware has accelerated 2 years from now and what would be the minimum requirements to run the new OS versions. Who knows. But I don't think you should based your decision to buy now on what may or may not happen in 2 years. Google probable doesn't even know what will be required in 2 years.

No. I think the OP is asking about future OS version updates like GB ---> ICS. I don't think this Nexus will get the next OS version before the next Nexus device and so and so forth.

It will be fully supported for at least 2 years.

I think generally they say a Nexus device is supported for 18 months right?

It will get more updates than any other phone out right now.

I posted that because it's a moot point question as there aren't any phones that will be updated more than this... so what's the point of continuing the thread.
