Do you think we will receive the next version of android?

Whether it will be vers. 4.3 or 5.0, do you think GSM galaxy nexus will get it?
Personally I think it will. Simply becaus even if Google decides to release the new version of android in combination with a new device, it won't be a new phone. ( Maybe a new nexus 7, but not a new flagship phone )
Nexus S didn't receive android 4.2 not because it's CPU couldn't handle it, but because Google wanted customers to focus on the nexus 4.

I think we will be good for the next 100 years

1) The nexus s didn't receive the update due to storage issues in the sector partitioned for OS. There is workarounds to this but it requires wiping devices and Google just can't do that to the mass public.
2) The galaxy nexus is only 12 months old, Google promises support for 18 months and likely even longer.
3) The galaxy nexus has a faster CPU then the nexus s and a similar GPU but the galaxy nexus has 1gb of space partitioned for OS.
4) Based on the above facts I can say with great certainty that we Galaxy Nexus owners will be receiving the next OS update.

How much space is partitioned for the OS on the galaxy nexus? And on a 8gb nexus 4?

As from what I read on the galaxy nexus it has 1gb for the OS. Nexus 4, I personally don't care about since I won't be getting one and therefore have no clue.

Why?? 4.2 is just 4.1 but with more stuff added.. Any bugs that 4.2.1 has, will be solved with 4.2.2
If you are experiencing lags and slow system, maybe its time for a healthy factory reset

umm dude ? i guess ur not a power user ! cus u can instantly know when ur using the gallery browsing through ur pics ! try to scroll fast as possible when a pic is opened ( even after they;re cached ) the 4.2+ gallery just isnt fast enough and shows u a black pic and takes bout a second to load up ! while the 4.1.2 was flawless ! go as fast as u like it loads up instantly ! this is just one aspect ! there are many more problems faced by others ! specially SOD's,I personally never had them. but others have ! .. oh well m on xylon 15 stable release with purity ak kernel 007 and it makes my device a bit more faster than the stock 4.2.1 but not as how 4.1.2 was ! plus i miss those crazyass realtime video cam face effects !

Nexus S recieved 3 updates. After 1.5 year stopped supporting it. Gnex has received 3 major updates. Its 1 year old and 3 months...
So i believe it is time to say goodbye to Google pure AOSP support and based on developers for the new updates
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'am confident that google would release the next version for GneX, there's non reason to leave it back, while for the NexS was explained why the official development was stopped! I only hope they put more attention in the development stage because 4.2 has a lot of silly bug that a good JUnit coverage could have found before the release (aka december bug, but why not mentioning the camera).

I am sure, we will definitely get the update! GNexus has a good hardware!

hopefully next 3 months, a major revamped ver, instead of something like buggy Android 4.2

Yes I think we will definitely get at least 1 more major release.

As far as I know, the gnex has only received 2 major updates: 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 to 4.2. I think that most people would agree that the 4.0.2 - 4.0.4 were minor updates, as were the 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and the 4.2 to 4.2.1 updates.
As others have said, if be very surprised if the gnex doesn't get at least one more major update.

Unfortunately the next update will likely be small in nature.
Then huge change will come in November with next Nexus phone.

You sound like a child. Enjoy that

Samsung did not promise anyone that u buy their handset and we will give free upgrades every now and then , do you get free upgrade from windows xp to windows 7 to windows 8 for free? NO it takes a lot time and money to develop , Samsung would not just update all the incremental updates google provides ...

We'll probably get it when they release it. Usually within a few hours.

Up to 18 months of releasing a set they are bound to give updates! Do you know that?
Samsung is definitely better than other brands atm, hTC, Sony etc, for providing faster updates, but that's a different thing.

The difference here is that those operating systems are things you actually have to buy, whereas android is free.
But back on topic: OP you barely even given them time to react. It takes a while to develop these things, so they take at least a couple of months to release. I mean, look at the galaxy s2 and its ICS release, that was their flagship phone for a while and even on that it took months for ics to be released on it.

You surely know nothing about One Alliance protocol followed by all the companies who use Android OS for their cell.
Its a guideline stated by Google that OEM must support a device that they bring out for 18 months since the time of release.
Now this is a very good guideline as it helps us sort good brands from stupid brands..for eg- motorola
Also google cant force any company to release updates. The company is at fault if it doesnt and they are responsible for getting a bad name then.

As a user who uses both Apple and Android (Samsung) devices, I find that this is still quite a major flaw for android phone manufacturers. My father still uses an iPhone 3GS and that is still receiving updates from Apple, nearly 4 years since it was released.
This is the first time i've heard of the "One Alliance protocol" so hopefully it's a step in the right direction.
Other than that, I'm sure users of older phones can hopefully flash custom roms of higher OS releases for their phone.

Sorry if i sound like a noob
4.2 was released 3+ months back. Currently my nexus 7 is running on 4.2.1 and this week would be 4.2.2 . Now then why is wrong to ask a question that samsung has not been keen on releasing 4.2 updates instead of stupid increments on 4.1.x which have been a major letdown.
Battery life has gone down from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while i was expecting the opposite. 4.2 has much more refined codebase for battery and performance.
Now am I being unreasonable for asking the question?

Who would buy the s4 if note 2 had 4.2.2 already
They would update the note 2 two months after they sell 20 million s4
If you want 4.2 for the dash clock ... flash aokp or Cyanogenmod rom

Android OS upgrades are completely unrelated to what you just described about Windows. I purchase my windows and get updates free of charge throughout its product life cycle which stretches to even a decade. Going back to topic its Samsungs obligation to support its devices sold and keep them up to date atleast while the phone is relatively recent. Its what consumers want its why most people buy the latest phones. I bought my note 2 not because of its hardware alone, let alone its cheap build quality, but also because i expect to get the latest updates soon and not when its outdated.

I think we will get it soon. Google will release a newer version than 4.2.x and the new update we will first get it after they have released s4

If you mean the android update alliance, do a Google search for it and you'll see all links are either from when it was first announced, or how it's basically dead now.

My guess is the middle or end of July and key lime pie by October since that's when the Moto X might be released and Google wants to have Motorola flagship phone on the newest version of android.Im thinking they wont release a new nexus device this year and the Moto X will be there nexus for this year with stock android and a few good customizations such as their 3 ring clock widget,quick setting,smart actions etc. from Razr HD line of phones.

We all thought they wouldn't release a nexus device last year, but then they hit the nexus 4 to the market. I really don't know any more. They have become less predictable. Which I really don't mind. I kind of enjoy the guessing game. I think I can surely say key lime pie (4.3 possibly) will be released this year.

yea i totally agree with you but it would be no point of a nexus device this year since they already got the nexus 4,Galaxy s4 google edition,htc one google edition and the sony xperia z google edition maybe... since that's still a rumor.

This.
Also, I believe 4.3 will drop sometime this fall, around Oct. or Nov., because that's when the next Nexus is rumored to be released.
And apparently, it is likely going to be made by LG again and not Motorola as suggested above.

I'm just waiting to be able to run an AOSP ROM with Bluetooth AVRCP. So I guess as soon as they release the source ...
thanks for all the feedback.

I wonder what new features Google could possibly pack into 4.3? I think 4.3 will be a minor update, then KLP will hit us hard!!

Google need to slow it down so everyone can catch up to the latest Android operating system. To many updates and os versions make it hard for developers. One or two updates is good enough google keep going and going.

[Q] Android 4.3 ?

does samsung galaxy note 8.0 will be android 4.3 or 4.4 ? note 2 get android 4.3..sorry bad english

Nobody knows the answer to that yet. My best guess (based on history of updates to the first Samsung 10 inch flagship tablet) is that an update to 4.3 may be possible, but don't expect it until the version after KitKat 4.4 is almost released by Google. I would be surprised if we see it before next summer. Android 4.4 should make it to our tablets in custom ROMs by the developer community. Less likely to be updated by Samsung, but not impossible.

Any news on if the zenfone will get android M soon?
Im not sure if i should get a zenfone 2 or a nexus 5

Wait a bit, nexus devices get newest android first of all, after that the flagships A category... we can only wait for now

I'm sure we'll get it, but I doubt it will be any time soon.

Can you install the dev preview on it? Or only the nexus devices can

But ASUS were very slow with Lollipop for the Zenfone 5 and haven't yet managed to give us 5.1.1 even though 5.0 is flawed, so I am not that hopeful.

you remember that zf5 came with jellybean..they had kitkat now having lollipop 5.0
and zf5 isnt flagship or flagship killer for them...
but zf2 is flasgship for asus and flagship killer in general
so however you look at it..zf2 will get atleast 2 upgrades... atleast 5.1.1 and M

Flagship killer!?
I'm glad I have one.
Cheers.

Flagship Killer? I guess we will wait and see.

I am sure I remember hearing of an interview with an ASUS person where they said that their policy was that their devices would get one major update and be supported for one year. The Zenfone 5 has exceeded that I guess. That said, seems like support for my Memo Pad 7 has ceased after about 6 months, and with only a botched Lollipop 5.0.1 pgrade for WW and JP still stuck with the original Kitkat 4.4.2 (they never bothered with 4.4.4 at all). So who knows what to expect with our Zenfone 2. Hopefully as their flagship device they'll treat it well. I don't really care about getting M, but very much hope they can deliver us a stable, bug-free build of 5.1.1 soon.

Well the best is yet to come. CM 12.1 !

now m is just a developer preview.i think the official firmware for zenfone 2 running m will be released in november more or less (I HOPE).Consider the first to mount stable android m will be the new nexus.then asus have to optimize m for zenny 2,mount zenui and all the optimization work.

Based on my experience with the nexus 4 getting quick updates is a mixed blessing. The latest and greatest new features and new bugs

I'm looking forward to "M" on the ZenFone. I'm running it on my Nexus 6 and Nexus 7(2013). Smoother and best of all developer options now has a "OEM unlocking", option as well as a "dark mode". And it comes compatible with "Layers" stock.
