That&#8217;s why any OEMs (the manufacturers of the phone) can use\u00a0this OS, change it and make it their own product (fork). Currently, there are lots of forks which are applied in\u00a0millions of devices (ColorOs in Oppo phones for example). Google cannot control all of them. As a result, phones running these\u00a0forks are often out of the update circle.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><strong>The second reason why your phone can&#8217;t get the Android 7 update is that the hardware of your phone is not compatible with new updates.\u00a0<\/strong>In Android One, Google provided a set of hardware that fits the best with Android. But then it was too disadvantageous for other hardware makers. Since then, Google has decided to adjust their OS so that it can fit as much\u00a0hardware as possible. But there are always exceptions.\u00a0If your phone won&#8217;t receive the update, it could be due to the incompatible hardware inside.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/android-7-update-e1472193710954.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/android-7-update-e1472193710954.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"468\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23266 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"android 7 update\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><strong>The third reason why some phones won&#8217;t welcome the\u00a0Android 7 update is the software lockdown.<\/strong> To be more specific, updated\u00a0OS means updated apps.\u00a0Many phone manufacturers delay updating to the new OS because they are still dealing with the third-party app developers.\u00a0They want their phones to have new OS version\u00a0and updated apps at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>Android 7 Update: It&#8217;s the cost that matters!<\/h3>\n<p>The last reason why your phone won&#8217;t get the Android 7 Update is the cost. Whenever there&#8217;s a new update, the OEMs have to employ teams that work on the new updates, as well as to invest in new facilities. As a result,\u00a0phone\u00a0manufacturers\u00a0only choose their leading\u00a0devices to put in the update circle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u00a0always\u00a0takes a while for the new Android\u00a0updates to arrive at non-Google smartphones.
