Why Does it Take So Long to Get an Android OS Update?

Many of us will have undoubtedly have asked this question and many of us would have gotten a number of different answers from a number of different people and, many of these answers may not even be close to the truth. So why does it take so long to get an Android OS update?

Thankfully HTC has created a site and a very informative infographic dedicated to answering this question. The site details down each stage of the OS upgrade process giving us a good view of what goes on when a device manufacturer work on getting the latest version of Android to users’ devices.

Beyond uncovering the process behind getting a software update delivered to the end user, the site also lists down the update status of other HTC devices and the latest software that they’re running. Yes, the list is limited at the moment and the status updates are probably more relevant for devices in the States but at least you now know what goes on when a manufacturer work on getting the latest software update for your Android device.

Head on over to after the jump for the full infographic.
