Update to firmware V3.0 for older devices
Recently Onyx released several new devices that come with firmware v3.0. I would like to invite speculations on our chances of getting this update on older devices in the near future. Official Onyx response is that they will let us know as soon the firmware is ready. If you spent any time on (currently shutdown) onyx-international forums, you know that this is a generic response.
Those of you who had your Onyx devices for many years - what is your experience with trickle-down updates? |

I contacted Onyx support through feedback app regarding the status of V3.0 update for my Max3.
They replied that the update will become available around the end of October. |

Of course, that hasn't happened, and, personally I doubt that it will. However, Onyx has been pretty good about rolling out their firmware updates to their Android 6 devices, bringing some of the newer features to them. This usually happens months after they have been rolled out to the Android 9 devices. Fair enough. So I'm hoping that they will continue to do this and that we will eventually see version 3 firmware offered to the older devices. |

My Poke2 has now received the update to OS version 3.
I think it's nice that apps can be grouped together - e.g. Unnecessary and in there, everything that is not needed. This allows the AppScreen to be designed to be clearly. |

Having looked into this, I think it is only beta testers who have the new firnware on older devices just now?
