OS firmware updates

Hi,

 

I'm thinking of getting a 10 vi and would like to know how many firmware updates can I expect?

Also does the 10 vi support dual gnss L1 and L5 satellite signals?

 

Thanks

 

Ken

@Kenrw8, it doesn't seem to support the dual L1 and L5 satellite, the software versions and releases are not mentioned on their website so far.

Hey @Kenrw8  @Dako88 

 

Actually, the specs page of the 10 Vl mentions that the device comes with Android 14 and will receive 3 Android updates in total, and 4 years of security patches!

Sadly Sony doesn't care about people who select their phones based on the software support they receive. 

 

Other major brands declare how many years of major Android updates each phone line will get, sadly Sony doesn't. If you're looking for a phone to be up to date with new Android for more than 1 version, you should avoid Sony.

Agree, decided to stick to google as there are few compatible OS's.

Thanks for your input
