[QUOTE="zzz00m, post: 704698, member: 63158"] I have 3 Android devices that are outdated because the hardware manufacturers refuse to push out Google updates. The most current one I have runs Android 4.4, with no hope of updates from the manufacturer or the carrier. I guess they would rather sell a new device... If support was an issue, I would consider going with the Google Pixel, since they can provide updates directly to the carriers.
