You have to choose very carefully with Android hardware. Much of it doesn't
get any updates from the day it leaves the factory. Only Nexus devices are
guaranteed to get updates for - I think - two years

This is a big problem for Android in my opinion.

You could try hassling Tesco and maybe bandy Sale of Goods Act at them, but
I wouldn't hold my breath.
