I agree that it is an Android 12 processor. But it was used from Android 13 so technically 1 year of OS update can be added by the manufacturing brand by requesting to Qualcomm
5 year OS update is must now.
BassimBinYoosaf have you used or seen performance comparisons of 8 plus gen 1 with the current one, I still insist that the time they ask for is too much, it would greatly affect the quality of the product
And about the use of India, I understand that it is not easy to change as often as in other countries, which is usually easier given their economies, but brands are not creating only for their country.
Apple has its own processors and they are among the most powerful and offer up to 6 years of updates, but when you take an iPhone 16 and compare it with a 12 you see that the performance and functions are very different despite running the same operating system, so I defend and I still think that five years is a long time for me, the maximum would be 4 years and the ideal would be 3.

Bro I am not asking for a 5 years of software update. I am asking for 4years of software and 5 years of security update. I can understand that 5 years is a bit more and might destroy the overall usage .
But my point was that it is capable of handling 5 years and we users are getting only a 3 years of os update and 4 years of security update.
BassimBinYoosaf and as previous comments say, it is a young company, you cannot demand so much.
Even those 4 years that you ask for represent a great effort for the company and as they say in my country, I prefer quality over quantity.
Bro I am requesting not demanding. I am requesting for a feature which I feel would be very beneficial for people’s in my country. But this may also help people’s from other countries also.
And I am aware that Nothing is a new brand and i respect their works and effort to make the user happy. But that doesn’t mean I can’t make a feature request.
BassimBinYoosaf Honestly, this is no longer seen as a simple request, that’s why I say they demand too much and if you browse the forum you will see what I mean and if the people from your country are the ones who make the most “requests or complaints” , but I feel that it is not the way, I believe that patience and support, give them the benefit of the doubt and for the moment accept what they offer. He assured you that offering more years is on his mind but for the moment It is not possible, there are more important problems to focus on that currently affect us, such as camera calibration improving general stability.
I DEMAND 5 YEARS FOR THE CHEAPMOFO 1.
CheapMoFo1 users unite!!!!!
2 years OS updates is weak and now I’m half way through!

Bro if you feel like you don’t want such a feature it is not that no one wants it. With all respect, if a whole request chats is created for asking such a feature it doesn’t mean that I’m asking for Indian users alone. Please understand there are many others who also think it would be good if they provide 4 years . But the only difference between them and me is that I brought some real life examples and showed it can be done. And I don’t think I was being disrespectful. I was speaking for me and some other users in this chats and that doesn’t makes you disrespectful.
BassimBinYoosaf I would like those features but I am realistic and I don’t see a way to guarantee good quality with what the company currently is
and the tests you give are really not realistic, you are comparing nothing with the ability that Samsung has, for example, to offer support over the years, it is impossible with the current conditions of nothing
Bro I am not simply speaking without any evidences just refer the sources that I have attached in the previous replies. It is technically possible to extend the software policy.
BassimBinYoosaf ChatGPT is not a source, this is the actual source applicable to Phone (1) and Phone (2)
4 Year of updates which for Phone (2) processor start with Android 12 and end with Android 15 (and Nothing making it a +1 with Android 16) https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2020/12/qualcomm-and-google-announce-collaboration-extend-android-os-support-and
CMF1_hacker yes but you forget that you bought a budget phone, you can’t buy a phone with specific update policy and then ask for more it’s don’t work this way

Bro the phone was released in Android 13. So technically the software policy starts from Android 13 .So if it is extended it should actually get Android 17 .
Then how is it extended. I don’t understand. Could you please explain bro
damn this thread is

CMF1_hacker maybe but it very hard to find custom roms and install them on mediatek devices, until that time you will change yours device for sure 
Anonymous717 They’re already out there, just take a look at XDA.
It’s been about 5 years since I owned a MediaTek chip (a P23), does it have to do with MediaTek not releasing chip specs, I can’t remember.
I was on Xiaomi.EU on a HK import until my children destroyed that phone.
