<h3><a href="#device-lifetime">How long can GrapheneOS support my device for?</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS can only fully provide security updates to a device provided that the OEM
|
||||
is releasing them. When an OEM no longer is providing security updates, GrapheneOS aims
|
||||
to provide harm reduction releases for devices which only have a minimum of 3 years support.
|
||||
Extended support updates at minimum will be done until the next Android version. It is likely
|
||||
that we will make a decision around harm reduction releases for other devices with longer lifetimes
|
||||
in Q4 2024. Harm reduction releases do not have complete security patches because it's not possible
|
||||
to provide full security updates for the device without OEM support and they are intended to
|
||||
buy users some limited time to migrate to a supported device.</p>
