Vivo to release updates for flagship smartphones for three years
One of the major selling points for smartphone manufacturers is the consistent release of updates. For many manufacturers, software updates for smartphones only last for two years. However, major manufacturers like Samsung and Apple releases updates for up to four years. Recently, Oppo announced that its flagship Oppo Find X series will get three years of security updates. Now, Vivo has also announced that it is expanding its supportĀ program for its flagship smartphones.
This also includes its flagship X-series which will expand this year. The company will release major and security updates for its flagships for three years. This new three years update policy will be applicable to flagships that were launched after July 2021. According to Vivo, the upcoming X-Series smartphones will receive the most advanced electronic components, and therefore can remain relevant for several years. Thus, the three years update will ensure that the device stays secure and relevant over time.
This policy is not just for smartphones in the Chinese markets. It will also release three years update for devices in Europe, Australia, and India. Other devices will receive updates in accordance with the standard cycle. Looking at IDC’s recent report, there was about 345 million smartphone shipment globally in the first quarter of this year. This is a 25.5% increase relative to last year. As of now, Vivo is the fifth OEM globally in terms of smartphone shipment with a 10.1% market share.
