Android Phone Updates: guide to updates of phones available


Want to know whether your smartphone will ever be updated? This chart shows all currently available Android phones, as well as any that have been confirmed to receive the next major version of the Android operating system. The chart is arranged alphabetically by carrier, and we will update it regularly whenever a new phone is released or a new version of Android is announced.
If you're interested in learning how the different carriers and manufacturers fare against each other when it comes to issuing Android updates, check out our companion story, "Android Phones: Which Companies Do the Best Job With Android Updates?"
