    I will continue to go to them when I’m buying Android phones because 3rd party manufacturers still suck at getting OS updates onto their phones. Even the best manufacturers have delays of weeks / months.

      Ya, that and taking pictures of moving objects. I tried Samsung but the camera couldn’t do kid photos unless I was outside on the brightest of days.

      The only way I was able to get continued OS support and updates was by going the way of installing custom ROMs, which is absolutely not ideal. It’s also the only reason my backup Nexus 5 is still kicking.

        I was mostly referring to update timeliness, but yeah, continued support is an issue. Google only promises 3 years of major releases for Pixels. The Nexus was even worse.

        Still a far stretch from Apple, who’s usually going 5 or 6 years of major OS releases, and then security updates on top of that.
