Almost all the major Android OEMs have started promising long software support for their devices. The OnePlus promises upto 6 years of software update, Samsung and Google does upto 7 years. However, many mid-range devices are still stuck with 4 years of software support. But anyway, Nothing has confirmed that its upcoming “true flagship” device, the Phone (3) will have support of 5 years of Android updates and up to 7 years of security updates. This is amazing.

On the other hand, Nothing’s Co-Founder, Akis Evangelidis has confirmed that the Phone (3) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Replying to the query of one of the users, the official says the brand has decided to go with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 because the former has better GPU, NPU, IPS and software support. Because of the chipset only, they are able to promise up to 5 years of Android updates and up to 7 years of security updates.
