"Why OnePlus Won't Adopt Samsung and Google's 7-Year Phone Update Policy"
OnePlus President Kinder Liu explained that the company didn't offer a seven-year software update policy for the OnePlus 12 because he believes longer updates don't matter if the hardware can't keep up, likening it to a sandwich with good filling but moldy bread. He emphasized the importance of a smooth user experience and expressed concerns about battery degradation over extended use, citing tests conducted for the OnePlus 12 and 12R.
