Frequently asked
When does the Infinix Note 60 Ultra stop getting updates?
Infinix has officially committed the Note 60 Ultra to 3 major Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches. Launched in early 2026 on XOS 16.2 (Android 16), that points to eventual Android 17, 18 and 19 and security coverage to roughly 2031, an unusually long window for a mid-priced phone and longer than some pricier rivals offer.
Is the Infinix Note 60 Ultra worth buying in 2026?
For its price it is a lot of phone: a 200MP main camera, a periscope zoom, a 7000mAh battery, wireless charging, a 144Hz AMOLED and a long update pledge. The main compromises are the modest IP64 rating, some software bloat and a chip that trails true flagships, so it suits value-focused buyers rather than performance purists.
How long will the OnePlus 15R get updates?
OnePlus applies its flagship policy to the R series: 4 major Android updates and 6 years of security patches, putting end of support around December 2031. Bought at mid-2026, that is still roughly 5.5 years of safe ownership — about $10 per supported month at the $650 street price, one of the best ratios of any 2026 phone.
OnePlus 15R vs OnePlus 15 — which should I buy?
The 15 adds a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a triple 50MP camera with 3.5x periscope, 120W/50W wireless charging, and a glass-and-aluminum flagship build for $200 more. The 15R counters with a slightly bigger 7,400mAh battery and the same 6-year support window. If you never zoom and don't use wireless charging, the 15R is the smarter per-dollar buy.
