Greetings, here is the recap for week 6. OnePlus has reaffirmed its commitment to providing users with 5 years of software updates, consisting of 4 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security support. This decision contrasts with Samsung and Google, who offer 7 years of updates. OnePlus is prioritizing software quality and smooth operation over a promise that it believes misses the mark.

An alleged press image of Nothing’s first midranger, the Phone (2a), circulated this week. The image depicted a phone without a Glyph interface and a design similar to the Nothing Phone (1). However, it was revealed by Steve H. McFly (aka @OnLeaks) that the render is fake. SmartPrix further explained that the source of the render is a Nothing smartphone that was not brought to fruition. Nothing’s teaser also contradicted the phone in the fake render.
