What is The Upgrade Radar?

The Upgrade Radar is a website dedicated to helping Android users make informed decisions about when to upgrade their devices. We track release cycles, analyze market trends, and provide advice on the best times to purchase new Android devices.

How do you determine the "Cycle Advice"?

Our Cycle Advice is based on where a device is in its release cycle. We analyze historical data on release patterns for each device series and calculate how far along the current model is in its expected lifecycle. This helps users avoid buying a device that's about to be replaced by a newer model.

What does the "Offers Advice" indicate?

The Offers Advice indicates whether current market conditions make it a good time to purchase a device from a pricing perspective. We track seasonal sales, special promotions, and price trends to recommend when users might get the best deals.

How often is the information updated?

We update our data regularly to reflect the latest release information, market trends, and pricing data. Our goal is to provide the most current and accurate advice possible.

Do you have affiliate relationships with manufacturers or retailers?

Yes, we use affiliate links for some retailers, including Amazon. This means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through links on our site. However, our advice is always independent and based on objective analysis of release cycles and market conditions.

How can I get notified about changes in device status?

You can sign up for notifications by clicking the "Notify me when advice changes" button. This will allow you to receive updates when our recommendations change for devices you're interested in.
