It was either the original Moto G or the 2nd gen one that got a kernel version bump - from 3.4 to 3.10, I think. I remember being impressed at the time. Newer Sony devices got a major version bump from 4.4 to 4.9 with their Pie releases: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updates https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updat... I wonder if the major version update for Sony's 9.0/Pie was due to a Qualcomm BSP change, or if it was solely their initiative? I think the reason for typically not doing major kernel updates may be down to sticking with reference stuff from BSPs. (I don't think they're offering any big updates, not kernel or Android major versions, for their Mediatek stuff. I think that might be typical though.) Kind of cool, anyway, to move from one LTS kernel release to the next. I wonder have any other OEMs made the same move?
