- pjmlp 9y agoNot everyone has a bugdet to keep buying flagship expensive phones. I own a LG device, bought in January, stuck on Android 6. There are only 1.6% of people in the world that own an Android device with 7.1.1, consider yourself lucky.
- pjc50 9y agoI like my ZenFone 2 but it's stuck on 5.0 :(
- milankragujevic 9y agoI am so happy I bought a Galaxy J5 (6) that can be flashed with Lineage OS 7.1.2. It's a really good phone, and even better with LOS.
- muppetman 9y agoYou're only half secure though. You aren't getting the SoC patches so you'll still be vulnerable to Wifi driver holes etc
- milankragujevic 9y agoYeah but knowing Samsung no phones will get the fixes besides the current flagship and MAYBE the previous one, all too expensive for most people in 2nd world.
- pjmlp 9y agoYeah, but it is quite bad that computers with the same price as mobile phones do get updates, while Android is at the whims of bean counters at OEMs. All because Google don't want actually sort it out. Given that OEMs are expected to push updates themselves on Treble certified devices, I don't have any hopes that the whole update chaos will improve.
