Not only Google's own mobile phones, these old phones can also be upgraded to the latest system
Nowadays, the speed of smartphone replacement is so fast that it has almost reached the attributes of fast-moving consumer goods. Not only are upstream manufacturers introducing new products at a fast speed, but downstream consumers are also gradually shortening the replacement time of their phones. A mobile phone that has been used for two years is already an antique. It is undeniable that mobile phone consumers, especially young consumers, are constantly chasing the latest mobile phones, but there are also many nostalgic people who often use a mobile phone for two years or even longer before replacing it. Not deliberately pursuing the latest models does not mean that such consumers have the right to enjoy better services. Just like many old laptops can still run Windows 10, many smartphone manufacturers treat old users in a very affirmative way. They provide the latest system update services for many old models. Let's take stock of the conscientious companies that provide new system updates for old phones. PS: Google's own son has innate benefits, so I won't mention it here. HTC: Don't forget me, an old man, M9 also supports HTC. It was once a recognized benchmark brand among Android phones. Although it has experienced a roller coaster of sales, it is still quite considerate in treating old users.
HTC One M9 As a mobile phone released in April 2015, HTC One M9 can be regarded as an old man among mobile phones, but fortunately, HTC One M9 can still enjoy the latest Android 7.0 system update. In addition, HTC One A9 and HTC 10, which are younger than HTC One M9, can also be upgraded to Android 7.0. It can be said that it is a relatively conscientious company. Sony: Xperia Z3 supports it, and there are many friends Sony's performance in the smartphone market has not been very good, but Sony is still quite conscientious in supporting its mobile phones in terms of new firmware. Recently, Sony announced that many Xperia devices will be upgraded to Android 7.0.
Sony Xperia Z3 According to the news released by Sony, many mobile phones including Xperia X Performance, Xperia XZ, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z4 Tablet, Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 Premium, Xperia X, Xperia XA, Xperia XA Ultra and Xperia X Compact will get support for Android 7.0 system from Sony. Meizu: Meizu Blue Note supports, full of joy Flyme OS is a mobile phone operating system deeply customized based on Android system by Meizu. Previously, it launched deeply customized operating systems based on Android 2.2 and Android 2.3 for M9 and MX (without formally establishing a proprietary name). It was not until June 25, 2012 that the mobile phone operating system based on Android 4.0.3 was officially established as "Flyme". Flyme system adheres to the design concept of simplifying the complex and pure simplicity. According to the usage habits of Chinese people, the originally complex handheld terminal intelligent system is realized in the least steps and smooth function operation with a minimal interface. At the end of last month, Meizu released the latest Flyme 6 system. According to the information released by Meizu, there are more than 20 models including PRO 6s, PRO 6, MX6, PRO 5, MX5, MX4 Pro, MX4 and Meizu Blue series, and the Meizu Blue Note released earlier is also within the update range of Flyme 6. Xiaomi: Xiaomi 2, born in 2012, is still in good shape . MIUI is a mobile phone operating system developed by Xiaomi Technology based on Android. It is designed for Chinese habits and comprehensively improves the native experience, which can bring domestic users a more intimate Android smartphone experience; the design inspiration of MIUI 8 system comes from the ever-changing "kaleidoscope", and the bold improvements in color, interactive animation, system fonts, etc. make the new system look brand new. In addition to the high cost performance of Xiaomi mobile phones themselves, MIUI can also be said to be one of the important factors for Xiaomi's success. Xiaomi has always attached great importance to the development of MIUI, and its support for old mobile phones is also in place. According to the news released by "Mother", the oldest model supported by the latest MIUI 8 can be traced back to Xiaomi 2. You should know that Xiaomi 2 is an old model released in 2012. ZUK: The entire series supports upgrading to Android 7.0, even the Snapdragon 801. ZUK is a brand that only entered the mobile phone industry last year, and its ZUK Z1 phone is also expected to be upgraded to the latest Android 7.0 system.
ZUK Z1 It is reported that ZUK Z1 users will have the opportunity to get the internal test before the Spring Festival. Are old users happy now? Apple: iPhone 5 released 4 years ago is still true love After talking about the Android camp, let's talk about the closed iOS system. Unlike the Android system mobile phone camp, which is third-party from the system to the processor, Apple's iOS system and processor are all owned by itself, so it will not be constrained by other suppliers in the creation of its finished products. Due to the full coordination from hardware to software, Apple's advantages are self-evident.
Apple iPhone 5 From the perspective of iOS firmware, it is easy to see that Apple has this advantage. Currently, Apple's latest iOS 10 system can support the iPhone 5 released by Apple in 2012, unless due to hardware limitations. It can be said that Apple's support for old models is quite adequate. Conclusion There is an old saying called "the conscience of the industry". From a marketing perspective, old models do not support new firmware, which can stimulate consumers' desire to buy. However, it is not necessarily a bad thing for mobile phone manufacturers to let more old users enjoy new technologies and let users recognize the brand.
