Know before you buy: starting today, EU’s new labels shake up the smartphone market
Huge W imo
It's the
That I'm excited about.
Oh wow. After the end of sale date. That's a lot.
That's the reason OEMs like oneplus, Nothing started to offer for 6yrs of security updates and 3-4yrs of OS. This was just to fulfill the formality.
This makes me worried about the ultra cheap Chinese manufacturers. I mean the likes of Unihertz, Umidigi, Ulefone, Doogee, Oukitel, etc
Usually these don't get updates at all.
Even weirder, for example I have Ulefone Armor 24. They used to ship with Android 13. They still advertised it with Android 13 when I bought it. Mine like a few others have said arrived with Android 14, but the earlier ones aren't offered A14 update.
Someone on Reddit contacted support about this and they replied that they don't provide cross-level upgrades because Google doesn't allow them to release those to end users.
Anyway, point is, they save on everything possible, starting with software updates. And I have doubts about them changing this, unless EU is a large market for them.
