And.. february!
Samsung might be a lot of things but when it shares stuff like that it tends to stick to it.
Plus Android is so modular now along with monthly security updates is it even a thing?
Seriously I used to live this, now I couldn't honestly tell you what to expect in 9 other than something Samsung made to go on top of it.
Final point many miss, especially in places like this is that literally nobody statistically gives a stuff about OS updates... like literally nobody.
Nexus devices were super niche and basically didn't sell, especially when they started putting the prices up and pixel phones are less than 1% of the market. Nokia.. NOKIA are 3 times bigger than google in the UK market!
