June patches
Despite the modest vulnerability count, the fact that 8 are marked ‘critical’ and 14 ‘high’ is good enough reason to want them as soon as possible, with 2 of the criticals (CVE-2019-2094 and CVE-2019-2095) affecting only version 9. Seven are elevation of privilege (EoP), four are remote code execution (RCE), leaving the remaining flaws without designation.

Tell that to my employer and Samsung, my A3 (2016) will not receive any updates :emoji_sob:

Unfortunately this is the trend with Android phones, even ones around $700 at launch can lose 50% of their value after the first year and updates barely last longer than two.

Thanks for the update @LASER_oneXM . I use a bargain basement Samsung J3 and the constant stream of similar news reinforces my determination to go with a used iPhone when the end of service date arrives.

I did the same but got an XR on a 3 year contract, no regrets.

Except for OnePlus, as Android Pie was released to OnePlus 3/3T last month. This is an Android phone that came out in 2016, and now receiving it's 3rd year of support. (Source)
