How to update to newer android version? (do OTAs work?)

[pierre123]

Hello everyone,
i dont have a nexus / plusone yet but i'm planning on getting one and put kali nh on it. I heard that rooting/unlocking prevents the phone from receiving over-the-air updates of new android versions...

My questions regarding that are:
1) Is that true?
2) If so, would i have to manually check for and update to newer android versions?
3) How would i do that?


Btw any thoughts / recommendations on what device i should get?
I don't want a tablet, so it should be rather smartphonish, i just cant decide between nexus 5 & 6 and the plusone one...

Thanks in advance for any help
