Google is the dominant force in this market. I'm sorry, but you can't pass the buck here. Somehow, PCs get security updates.

Google is the dominant force in this market. I'm sorry, but you can't pass the buck here.
Somehow, PCs get security updates.
- mschuster91 6y agoBecause PC manufacturers don't insist on modifying core Windows for their bloatware, and carriers don't insist on certification for each and every update. That is why the situation is better there.
- woofie11 6y agoIf Google wanted, it could prohibit that practice. If you want Play Store, Youtube, Gmail, and all the other Googlies, you play by Google's rules. It ain't rocket science. If Samsung decides not to play, Sony and Huawei will eat its market.

For what it's worth they're so small IDC doesn't even list them on the market share diagram: https://www.idc.com/promo/smartphone-market-share/vendor https://www.idc.com/promo/smartphone-market-share/vendor Huawei is not going to eat anyone's market so soon, not with Google having cut them off from Android.
