While Vivo may still be slightly behind other smartphone brands in terms of software support, it does offer an impressive four years of support for select Vivo phones.
As we anticipate the upcoming FunTouch OS 14 update for many Vivo devices, it’s worthwhile to delve into Vivo’s comprehensive update policy.
In comparison to brands like Oppo, OnePlus, and Samsung, Vivo may not quite match their software support offerings, but it’s not far off.
In a significant update to their policy announced in August 2022, Vivo commits to providing software support for their flagship phones for up to four years from their initial release.
This includes three major Android version updates along with four years of security patches. However, it’s crucial to note that this extended support period is primarily reserved for Vivo’s flagship models.
For other Vivo series such as V, Y, and T, the duration of support may not be as generous as the flagship devices.
Let’s now take a closer look at Vivo’s update policy for various phone series to gain a comprehensive understanding.
