Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 (2012) would not receive Android M finally


Google Nexus devices are traditionally the first to receive each new version of the Android operating system. But sooner or later the older ones are being left behind, not updated. The next would be the Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 (2012), which would be out of Android M due to new policies of Google.
