By extending Android 15 to devices dating back to 2023, the company is directly challenging the industry’s reputation for short-lived software lifecycles. Instead of prioritizing only its newest flagships, Ulefone is pushing the update across its entire ecosystem, reinforcing its commitment to durability not just in hardware, but in software longevity as well.
Unlike brands that restrict major OS updates to premium models, Ulefone is democratizing access to Android 15. The update is already live and rolling out in phases, ensuring users can begin upgrading immediately.

By updating these models, Ulefone effectively extends their lifespan and enhances their value -offering users improved performance, modern security, and a refreshed interface without requiring new hardware.The update focuses on three major pillars:
- Enhanced Performance - faster app launches, reduced background power consumption, and optimizations tailored for high-capacity batteries, especially in the Armor 24 and Armor 27 series
