I always hear that there are issues with Android devices getting the latest security updates, etc since there are manufacturer and carrier dependencies.
Is that still the case or just urban myth at this point?
- saagarjha 8y agoI believe Android has gotten better about pushing security updates, at least to most flagship phones. But they still lag behind on OS updates.
- loueed 8y agoCheaper phones rarely get more 2 software updates, and security patches can take years to roll out. This is mainly because manufacturers have no incentive to spend money on patching/updating software that a small number of people use. https://www.statista.com/statistics/271774/share-of-android-platforms-on-mobile-devices-with-android-os/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/271774/share-of-android-... Google is working on a new OS for the pixel which will attempt to solve this fragmented Android issue.
