Google is making a mistake here. 2 years were appropriate when the smartphone industry was still moving fast. But now it's getting slower, smartphones don't get obsolete that fast anymore.

Anonymous, 27 May 2015What only two years!? The best example of this is the galaxy nexus, the hardware on the galaxy... moregpu on the galaxy nexus is terrible, it can't handle 720p, iphone 4s had the best gpu in 2011, 2x the theoretical performance of galaxy nexus's gpu, sgx543mp2 vs sgx540. battery life is bad too. its probably better for it to stay on 4.3

What only two years!? The best example of this is the galaxy nexus, the hardware on the galaxy nexus is still capable of running lollipop with no hitch at all but google did not update it to lollipop. In contrast apple is still supporting iphone4s which im sure will lag with ios9 but they still update the aging hardware

Right now, only those with pre-ICS devices may have reason to complaint... but those are devices (in terms you can understand) at the iPhone 4 level.

Android M. Probably API level 23-24.
Yet after 22+ iteration of API, creating Android app is not becoming any easier.
You have to deal with strangeness of Java object, ugliness of Android API, and finally, fight against the IDE itself, as both Eclipse and Android Studio both gives the same headache.

If you update a 2+ y... moreAren't we forgetting the very important fact that security holes do get patched while in Android usually you only get app related updates (the core system will remain mostly unpatched, unless the manufacturer actually bother to release a patched ROM -- which is a rare occurrence)?
It's an old phone, of course it won't be like a new phone. But does that mean it has to be unsafe to use? Do remember the massive amount of personal data a smartphone carries!
Enjoy being hacked and leaking huge amounts of information through unpatched security holes.
