How long do Sharp phones get updates?
Roughly 2-3 Android OS upgrades + ~3-4 years of security, varying by model and carrierOur estimate
Sharp's AQUOS line is focused on Japan and parts of Asia and does not publish a single global update guarantee. Flagship R-series phones tend to get up to three OS updates while the cheaper sense models get fewer, with security patches typically running three to four years. Outside Japan, support depends on the importer or regional carrier.
