The Updates Chart for Android Phones



I was trying to find if there's an Android phone that was officially updated for more than 2 years and came up with this list, mostly based on data from Wikipedia articles. Some of the phones have multiple versions and not all of them were updated, while some of the updates were delayed by carriers. I only included the date when the last update was released. Recent phones like Galaxy S3/S4, HTC One X, HTC One, Nexus 4 aren't included, but One S is included because it will no longer be updated.



For now, Nexus S and HTC Thunderbolt are the champions, with 22 months of updates. Most phones from the list got 2 major updates and were supported for less than a year and a half, but these are the flagship devices. If Galaxy Nexus is updated to Android 4.3, it will probably be the first Android phone with more than 2 years of official updates.







Note: Dates are in the dd/mm/yyyy format and dd is always 01. It's a workaround for Google Sheets, which doesn't support the mm/yyyy format.
