Motorola recently launched several phones with no Android updates but five years of security patches in Europe.
This could be due to the company’s interpretation of EU regulations regarding software updates.
It seems like the regulations don’t actually force smartphone makers to offer software updates at all.
Hate to break it to you, but google doesn’t allow any privacy on their ad-serving os.
I would agree that some version jumps do offer material improvements in feature sets, but they also come with further erosion of your privacy.
