OnePlus says that “The plan for these two devices aligns with industry standards for smartphones in more affordable price ranges. As always, we will continue listening to feedback from our users and looking for ways to improve the software experience for all OnePlus devices.” While it promises two years of security updates, there’s no mention of how often they will be receiving the said security updates. OnePlus had launched more phones this year than it did last year but this doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to not deliver continuous software updates to its two most affordable phones. Samsung, which releases far more devices in a year, has managed to deliver several major software updates to its affordable device. OnePlus’ move is more akin to Motorola, which is not a good sign.
That being said, consumers in India do not have to worry about this since the OnePlus Nord N10 and Nord N100 are not likely to release in the country. The Asia variants of the devices were recently spotted, which suggests that they could launch in India, but nothing is confirmed as yet.
