High quality: buying a used smartphone, you can be left without OS updates

Roskachestvo specialists gave advice to owners of old smartphones. This is reported by Izvestia.

According to the authors, smartphone manufacturers usually withdraw from sale and stop supporting old devices in order to make room for new ones. Also, outdated models can interfere with the implementation of current devices. Consumers who purchase gadgets released a few years ago may be left without updates.

“Support by the company even for quite old devices for a long time has not yet become a ubiquitous phenomenon,” experts explained, talking about the risks of owning an outdated device. According to experts, Apple smartphones have the longest support for updates – for example, the iPhone 5s received updates for six years. “Even if you find out that Apple has stopped releasing your model, you can still update it without any problems,” the authors noted.

Among Android phones, multi-year update support is not considered common. So, some models can receive updates only once per life cycle. “If you buy a used smartphone, you can save money, but if the model has a support period of less than a year, you run the risk of being left with a “dangerous” gadget,” Roskachestvo experts summed up.

In early April, Roskachestvo specialists gave advice on buying handheld gadgets. Before purchasing the device, the authors recommended checking the reviews about the seller, clarifying the technical characteristics and condition of the device.
