No, but they tend to stick to the LTS releases and the kernel tends to not get a version update for the life of the device.
So it doesn't track the latest, but it's also not "really old" in that upstream Linux still considers it a supported version.
- josteink 10y agoNo it's actually very old. This is from my Nexus 5X, running Android N preview build: $ uname -a Linux localhost 3.10.73-gef93fe9 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 20 20:48:13 UTC 2016 aarch64 Android There was a technical reason for pinning it at this version (also known the "Android kernel"), but I don't remember what that specific reason was.
