"Partners were notified about the issues described"
I left Android a year or so from the aftermath of the "Stage Fright" incident. I was very disappointed when my fairly new Android handset didn't get any updates to that problem.
It will be interesting to see if the Android ecosystem has learned anything since then. (Other than it is a good way to sell new handsets.)
- pjmlp 10y agoNo they have not, OEMs and Handset manufactures rather sell new devices than provide updates, just like they used to do with Symbian and similar proprietary handsets. http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-update-679175/ http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-update-679175/
- bitmapbrother 10y agoBlackberry has released Android security updates every month.
- pjmlp 10y agoDo they still matter at all?
- bitmapbrother 10y agoIf you want an Android phone, as secure as a Nexus, then yes.
- pjmlp 10y agoI hardly see them anywhere on sale here in Europe.
- the_trapper 10y agoBlackberry also only has one Android phone. Let's wait and see how they handle things when they have more models to support. I'm also concerned that Blackberry phones (Android or otherwise) aren't long for this world. The Priv has hardly been a success and Blackberry OS appears to be on life support.
