Add caption Getting a major OS update is almost like buying a new phone – you get a host of new features, (hopefully) faster software and occasionally a complete overhaul of the UI. It’s actually better than a new phone, it’s free! Yep, phones never had the PC model where a new version of the OS is something you buy. That’s good on the surface, but there’s a flip side. You can update a 10-year old PC to Windows 10 without waiting on its manufacturer. You probably shouldn’t, but you can.

Google , for example, commits to deliver major Android updates to the Pixel 2 phones for 3 years (longer for just security updates). Sony just announced it would support its flagships for two years. That’s fine , but the cost of the update is built into the cost of the phone – we shouldn’t have to tell you how expensive the Pixels are and Sony’...

Image
        The OnePlus 5T, which was recently found to be among the top-three best selling premium smartphones in India, is now no longer available for purchase in North America, at least via the official site. OnePlus reportedly received a stronger-than-expected demand for its latest flagship model in the continent that ultimately resulted in its stock outage. The latest development comes nearly four months after the launch of the OnePlus 5T in the North American market, and comes amid a flurry of leaks around its successor, OnePlus 6, which is scheduled to launch in Q2 2018.           Unlike companies such as Samsung, Sony, and its homegrown competitor Xiaomi, OnePlus doesn't bring a bunch of models to the market.
