Fastest Updates

[nviz22]

Which cheap android phones have he fastest updates besides the Moto G? Any of them use nano sim tech too?

 

[mrex]

you can only rely on pure nexus devices, if you need the latest android updates for a some odd reason...

 

[Fernandez21]

I think the Android one or nexus one devices get updated from Google.

The only guarantee for an "affordable" phone is the Nexus 5X now.

Or the Nexus 6 (last years model), which can be found new for $299.

Good point. Forgot about that.

Too big. I rather go smaller form factor too.

So NOBODY is commenting on the Android M updates? Some of you have to have it.

It's all been covered already.

I haven't found on tap to be all that useful yet as it misses stuff.
Finally having VV in the dialer app is nice.
Not seeing a difference with Doze.
I find the point of origin for app launching animation cartoony.
Minimizing badges with system UI tuner has been nice.

Been covered where? I didn't see it. It's been rolling out barely a week.

And what has this to do with the thread? It was about phones getting updates.

I believe Android M is an update. I didnt want to start a new thread and this was the closest thing I could find.

 

[nviz22]

I ordered the Nexus 6. $300 is a little steep since my budget was $250, especially since eBay ate up my coupon from a past purchase and refused to give it back. But it seems like it has everything I need in a backup phone excluding the form factor. I just hope this is finally the last switch for the Android device for awhile.

I cannot wait for the Wi-Fi Calling, Android M, and almost latest specs.

 

[Vegastouch]

I have WiFi calling on my GS6,...never use it.

That's probably because your coverage is not as bad as mine. My coverage is atrocious, so Wi-Fi calling is huge on my 6S+.

Android M is an update. This thread is about the fastest updates.

I would just wait for January/February and pick up the nexus 6p on the cheap just before mwc.

Your options right now are quite limited.

I would definitely suggest staying with Nexus devices if consistently fast updates are the thing most important to you. Motorola has been pretty quick about updates over the past 2 years IIRC. And I was surprised to find out this morning that LG already has a build of Marshmallow (for G4) that is going to start rolling out and be tested before being pushed to everyone.

So what?

I know lots of people who benefit from WiFi Calling. If it wasn't an important way to connect a company the massive size of AT&T would not be offering it and spending millions of ad dollars to be sure potential customers know.

This will sound pendantic and I don't mean it that way but If Android follows Linux naming then MM would be an upgrade, not an update.

I am actually considering the 5X now again because the form factor and the seller I bought the N6 from has a bad rep w/ unsealed boxes and not having full one year warranties as stated in their eBay ad.

What's "MM"?
