31st August 2026: As software support becomes an increasingly important part of the smartphone ownership experience, boltt is strengthening its commitment to long-term device support with the introduction of its boltt 3+4 Software Commitment for its Evo and Ace smartphones.

Under the commitment, both smartphones will receive three major Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates, with security updates delivered at least once every quarter. Critical security updates will also be released as required, ensuring that important vulnerabilities can be addressed outside the regular update cycle.

For consumers, the value of a smartphone increasingly extends beyond its specifications at the time of purchase. With the 3+4 Software Commitment, boltt is putting greater emphasis on what happens after the purchase, helping ensure that its devices remain secure, supported, and relevant through a longer ownership journey.

The commitment provides a simple and transparent framework for software support:

3 major Android OS upgrades, helping keep the software experience current across multiple Android generations.
4 years of security updates, providing long-term protection beyond the initial purchase period.
A minimum quarterly security update cadence, with additional updates released where required.
Critical security updates as needed, allowing important vulnerabilities to be addressed outside the regular update cycle.
A clear and transparent support timeline, counted from the official product launch date.

The commitment also reflects a broader shift in how consumers evaluate smartphone value. While hardware specifications remain an important part of the purchase decision, software longevity, security and continued support are becoming an increasingly relevant part of the overall ownership experience.

For boltt, defining its software support roadmap is therefore not just about extending the update cycle, but about building greater confidence in the ownership experience and demonstrating its commitment to consumers beyond the point of purchase.

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.”

The boltt 3+4 Software Commitment forms part of the brand’s broader consumer-first approach, bringing together reliable hardware, a clean software experience, long-term security and dependable after-sales support. With this commitment, boltt aims to make software longevity a more visible part of the value proposition, reinforcing that the value of a smartphone is not limited to what consumers receive on day one, but also to the support and security that continue throughout the ownership journey.

The boltt 3+4 Software Commitment will apply to both the Ace 5G and Evo, which will be available for purchase exclusively on Flipkart from 1st September onwards. The Ace 5G will be available starting at INR 13,999 and the Evo at INR 10,999, with special Day 1 pricing of INR 12,999 and INR 9,999, respectively.

Note: Software upgrades, security updates, and rollout timelines may vary based on chipset/platform support, Google certification requirements, technical compatibility, and other applicable dependencies.
