    Now will any company actually use this? It’s my biggest issue with android phones is so many of them just never get security updates

      Google, despite having a track record of killing services, does have a good track record to keep their phone up-to-date. On the other hand, most other android OEMs stop frequent update after a year or two.

        Their phones cost the same as iPhones with imo usually worse hardware which at least to me defeats the purpose.
