          Don't worry! Nearly 90% of Android haven't even get upgrade to Android 7.0 or 7.1.1 Nougat, now we are talking about new Android O that at most reach Nexus/Pixel users by end of the year, others OEMs users sorry! Wait long long!

                Hey Goggle......

                Let's first get Nougat properly to the market .....oh sorry --- that's always the phone manufacturers responsibility.....which of course seldom happens till the next ship has well and truly sailed.......naked OS only from now on......is this where your heading? Hmmm.....



                  rishi is here, 21 Mar 2017so can we expect this update on pixel 2 or it's rolling out... moreIts already rolling out to the phones you mentioned under "developer preview". That's why it says DP is out, if it were to wait for Pixel 2 then it would say DP will be out :)

                                wasting money , 21 Mar 2017FU Google, I haven't even got Nougat on my god dam phone an... moreWhy do you even keep buying phones just to stay on the latest version anyway? It's the security updates that are important and a lot of mid-rangers can get those frequently. Just go get a decently priced phone from one of the major OEMs and you're good to go. And as if you're gonna use all of the new features on every OS release.

                                    I've used all (most of the prominent) Android versions from 2.3 Gingerbread to 7.0 Nougat and it's been a long, long journey. Android has taken over the globe like nothing else, it's everywhere and almost all the manufacturers are releasing Android phones all the time and this has contributed to more features. Android has evolved as a superphone OS but it's resource hungry, and the focus has been shifted to power efficiency only now. I'm a disabled person so life's tough for me and for that reason, I'm using my phones all the time to distract myself from my disability. Let's talk to the point, lots of things dictate battery backup, most important being display, processor, and software. With new generation power efficient processors built on 10nm & 14nm, it's not much of a worry and the display brightness can be adjusted to save power. The software needs to heavily optimized as that plays a crucial role in battery backup, and this is an area where Google has to work hard. Android kills the battery, and it's been killing the battery being a resource hungry OS. This is one fatal issue with Android. I'm saying this after using some 20 Android phones in the past 7 years..

Samsung isn't going to care about software updates anytime soon so it's best you get a "Phone By Google".

                                        If only it was required to add an option for boot loaders to be unlocked. After all, customizability is what Android users came for, just make it like enabling unknown sources and saying that "you're at your own risk".
