- hocuspocus 6y agoYes exactly. As a user, running the latest Android version on old hardware isn't terribly useful. And even if every manufacturer did the same, it wouldn't make developers' life much easier given the hardware fragmentation. Google should really figure out a way to push security updates without the OEM's involvement. They can already update everything that's bundled in Play services, and core apps like the browser and the webview. It's good, but not enough.
