OnePlus ships modern kernels. My OnePlus 5 is using kernel 4.4.21 - this is with Nougat 7.1.1, by the way; no Oreo here yet.

- khc 9y agoOk I am very disappointing with Google in that case
- forkbomb_ 9y agoThe kernel you get is entirely up to the SoC vendor. Snapdragon 820/821 ships with 3.18. Snapdragon 830 ships with 4.4. Snapdragon 830+1 will ship with 4.9 There's a huge amount of work involved in porting a chipset from one kernel version to another. While I'm sure Google _could_ do it, it's ultimately not worth their while - they'd probably lose support from Qualcomm, and if they hit any weird bugs they'd be on their own.
