I don’t even trust Samsung or Google for good, timely Android updates anymore

Back in 2020, Samsung revolutionized Android updates by jumping ahead of Google in the race and starting to release timely monthly security patches even before they dropped for Pixel phones. For a few years, the company spearheaded the Android update movement, becoming the first non-Google Android phone maker to commit to three, four, five, and then seven years of updates, all while also taking care of its mid-rangers, and ensuring early access to new Android betas was as timely as ever.
