TCL has confirmed which smartphones will get the Android 15 OS update. After Google, Motorola, and Vivo, TCL has announced the Android 15 roadmap for quite a few of its devices.
Which TCL smartphones will receive the Android 15 OS update?
TCL isn’t a company that is particularly known to offer Android OS updates quickly. The company typically sells mid-range Android smartphones at attractive prices. However, the company does not offer major OS updates as swiftly as other Android smartphone makers.
Google recently rolled out the first stable version of Android 15 to its Pixel smartphones and tablets. Following Google’s footsteps, a few reputed and global smartphone manufacturers too have announced Android 15 OS update for some of their devices.
TCL too reportedly released a list, which includes 10 devices that will get Android 15. It includes TCL 50 5G, TCL 50 NXTPAPER 5G, TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G, TCL 50 SE, TCL 50 XL 5G, TCL 505, TCL Tab 8 Gen 2 and LTE, TCL Tab 10, NXTPAPER 5G, TCL Tab 11 Gen 2 and LTE, and TCL Tab 11 FE.
It is interesting to note that some of the TCL devices that will get the Android 15 OS update have been released in the last 12 to 14 months. Moreover, TCL hasn’t confirmed any timeline for the rollout.
TCL revising its update policy for smartphones
Traditionally, TCL has preferred to sell new phones with the latest Android OS update pre-installed. Moreover, it usually releases a single major Android OS update to its devices.
TCL’s track record for releasing software releases for its smartphones has been rather poor. The company has noticeably dragged its feet during the Android 13 and Android 14 updates.
TCL seems to be trying to change gears. In other words, TCL is revising its update policy. Some TCL smartphones, especially those belonging to the TCL 50 series, will receive two major OS upgrades.
Simply put, the TCL 50 series smartphones should get Android 16 update. The company has further indicated that these devices will also get five years of security updates.
