boltt has announced its “3+4 Software Commitment” covering the latest Evo and Ace smartphones ahead of the sale tomorrow, September 1st. The policy establishes a structured roadmap for operating system upgrades and ongoing security maintenance.
Under the framework, both the boltt Ace 5G and boltt Evo are slated to receive three major Android operating system upgrades alongside four years of regular security patches.
Security updates are scheduled on at least a quarterly basis, with additional critical patches to be deployed as necessary to address urgent vulnerabilities outside the standard update cycle.
Key Provisions of the 3+4 Framework
- 3 Major Android OS Upgrades: Designed to keep device software functional and aligned with newer platform features.
- 4 Years of Security Support: Protection extended across four years, calculated from the official product launch date.
- Quarterly Security Cadence: Regular scheduled maintenance delivered at least once every quarter.
- Ad-Hoc Critical Patches: Targeted fixes deployed independently of the quarterly schedule when high-priority vulnerabilities arise.
The move mirrors an industry-wide trend where post-purchase support and software longevity increasingly influence consumer evaluations alongside initial hardware specifications. By defining a multi-year support timeline, the brand aims to formalize its post-sale software obligations.
Note: Specific update rollouts and timelines remain subject to chipset platform support, Google certification processes, technical compatibility, and related technical dependencies.
Commenting on the announcement, Arnav Kishore, Founder & CEO, boltt, said:
Great value should not end on the day you buy the phone. If we are asking consumers to put their trust in boltt, we need to stand behind the product for years after the sale. Our 3+4 Software Commitment is about giving consumers that confidence: three major Android upgrades, four years of security support and regular security updates throughout the device lifecycle.
