When word got out that Google would require timely security updates for Android devices, there were unanswered questions: when would it take effect, how long would it last, and which devices would be affected? Now we know. The Verge says it has obtained a contract showing that, as of July 31st, 75 percent of a company's "security mandatory" Android devices (hardware activated by over 100,000 people) must provide consistent security updates for at least two years. All qualifying devices will have to receive those updates starting on January 31st, 2019.
