Besides the table above, Google said there are also over 100 smartphone models that run an Android version with a security patch from the last 90 days (three months). Despite this, the vast majority of today's smartphones run outdated versions of the Android OS.

My Pixel XL is on there but I haven't updated it to the most recent patch because of a new signing method they added that makes rooting / installing custom ROMs more difficult, and I haven't been able to properly flash TWRP on that version
