With little you understand, you can get an idea of ​​how much support time is left on your phone, but you can always have doubts that are not always resolved by searching. And isn’t there a resource out there that makes life easier for those who don’t have it all? Well, of course he is: introducing you, if you didn’t know him, Android Update Matrix or Android Update Tracker. Both brackets.

The issue of Android terminal support is far from resolved, and the norm is usually still around two, at most three years of guaranteed updates from the original launch of the eye model. The sheer audacity that continues unabated, even though patches like unlinking apps and services from the base system to the Play Store have helped mitigate the situation.

That, of course, and there are already manufacturers like Google or Samsung that you can trust when you want an Android phone with decent support (five years of updates, although this warranty does not apply to all Samsung models). Be that as it may, whatever phone you have, it can attack you doubts about how much life he has ahead of him when it comes to maintaining your factory software.

And this is how we get to the Android Update Matrix or Android Update Tracker, a page that will save you from searching the Internet for support that you can expect for your mobile, or to be more strict, what latest android version you will get, a key turning point for any Android device worth its salt. Of course, the information presented on this page has its complexities, but this does not detract from the value of the resource.

For example, whether the data provided is reliable may depend on the manufacturer, as not all provide adequate information or update it regularly; It may depend on the region in which you purchased the terminal; and of course they may also vary due to manufacturer changes, although in this case the information will be updated sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, there’s a bit of a mystery to using this site: you search for your phone by make and model (you can do this faster using the browser’s site finder instead of using the site’s own search engine) and that’s it. If you do it quickly, the color and symbols indicate the status of each model:

• Red: You will not receive the update.
• Light green: you will receive an update
• Dark green: You have already received the update.
• Dark green with a star: It went on sale with this version.
• Light brown: most likely you will not receive the update.
• Light green sx: This will be your last update/version.

In addition to the required overview, you can find additional information related to its support by entering the page dedicated to each model. In case you’re wondering, the Android Update Matrix tracking system has it covered from Android 12 to Android 18…and yes, a terminal is already being prepared that will still be in force when said version appears in a long time, not yet determined at the moment, but it won’t be soon: the OnePlus 12.
