LG G6 scheduled to receive Android 8.0 Oreo by February, but there's a catch

Perhaps, because said phones do have many other pros which outweighs the con of not being able to freely update to the latest OS...

in what way are Pixels inferior than LG smartphones?

i mean feature-wise or anything.

i just don't agree with "..said phones do have many other pros.."
and LG phones have many issues too, it's not covered as much in media just because their phones aren't that popular.

Very few phones provide the latest Android update within a month or two. Rest are similar.

IMO any phone that doesn’t get updated to the latest software iteration 3 months after the official software release aren’t worth buying!

Well, it's difficult to release updates quickly for what is the most advanced mobile OS in the world. I mean there are big changes in it. On top of that they have to make sure it isn't a bug infested nightmare and make sure to take out all the throttling that might have made it into the code.

That's your opinion, bruh... Wouldn't hate you for that.

But I personally couldn't care less about fast updates, as long as my handset is still flying high.

Well thank you for being civil! trust me I have been here long enough to see the amount of hate someone gets just for stating his/her opinion

Such is the norm on this website, it shouldn't surprise anyone at this point.

Happy New Year!

So what exactly are you getting with that update that isn't already on your phone besides a new number in the software version number?
I just hate the people who just want the newer version just to have the newer version without knowing what the new version is bringing to the table

Now if you're talking monthly security update, I agree 100%

Security updates of course, my brother owns the s7 edge exynos version. His phone still runs on the September security patch for some reason and I know worldwide the s7 has been updated, but for some reason here in UAE only a handful of my friends have received the patch on their device.

@Tech-shake Actually they are more than anything because it means they have complex and polished functional skins and the update had to be perfected to work flawlessly, to eliminate bugs from stock Android etc.
