Frequently Ask Questions - Star Guard
Q1.
How often are security patches released?
Star Guard releases security patches every quarter (4 times per year). These include the latest Google Android security fixes and Glory Star-specific improvements. Updates install silently with no disruption to operations.
Q2.
Are OS upgrades guaranteed?
Major Android OS upgrades are provided free whenever the device hardware and chipset supplier support the new version. We perform a compatibility check first. If compatible, you get the upgrade. If not, you continue receiving quarterly security patches on your current version for the full 5-year term.
Q3.
What happens after the 5-year period ends?
After 5 years, devices will no longer receive new updates through SmartGuard. You can:
-
Continue running on the final supported OS (standard practice for many deployments)
-
Renew or extend coverage (if available at that time)
-
Migrate to newer Glory Star hardware with a fresh 5-year cycle
Q4.
How is Star Guard different from Elo OS 360 and others?
Transparent public pricing starting at $45/device, lower MOQ, quarterly updates, and real 5-year post-EOL support — all at up to 55% less than competitors.
Q5.
Can I upgrade mid-term (3-year → 5-year or add devices)?
Yes! Upgrade from 3-year to 5-year anytime and pay only the pro-rated difference. Add new devices easily — we’ll align or extend the entire fleet for you.
Disclaimers/Terms
Availability of Android OS Upgrades
Android OS upgrades are provided only when the device hardware and chip supplier continue to support the new version. Glory Star conducts a compatibility check before any major OS upgrade. If the hardware is deemed incompatible, the OS upgrade will not be offered. After a new Android OS version is released by Google, devices remaining on the previous OS version will continue receiving quarterly security patches for a maximum of 12 additional months only.
Extended 5-Year Support
Star Guard provides up to five (5) years of firmware updates and security patches from the original device purchase date, provided the device is kept on the latest compatible OS version. After Google officially ends support for a particular Android version, Glory Star may continue providing security patches at its sole discretion and based on the severity of vulnerabilities. The planned 5-year support period is subject to change depending on hardware component availability, chip-supplier support, and other business considerations.
Support Limitations
Technical support for any specific firmware or OS upgrade is limited to 30 days following the update release. After the 5-year SmartGuard period expires, no further firmware updates or technical support will be provided unless a new agreement is executed.
General Conditions
All Star Guard features and pricing are subject to change without prior notice. Minimum order quantities (MOQ) apply for volume-based pricing tiers. Glory Star reserves the right to refuse or modify service at its discretion.
