While I do not know whether this the case for the specific phone mentioned in the (2018) article but it is true for my (2014) Samsung Galaxy SIIIneo, the (2013) Galaxy Tab 3, the two (2018) Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro devices, my daughter's (2015) Galaxy S6 Edge+, etc. Many if not most Android devices are more like PCs in that you're not stuck with whatever the vendor installed on them, instead you have the freedom to install your own OS distribution.
