    Beside apple are the one company that can overide carriers demand and do whatever they want since carrier will be at loss (i mean profit loss) if they didn't have apple products to offer

      Usual long winded Android updates and carrier involvement slowing It up even more, only Pixel phones are quicker,

        Thanks Sony for the explanation, it should make the purchase of a Google Pixel phone even more obvious

                The best support comes from Apple.
                I think its time for a revolution in the Android Ecosystem so that they could compete better in the software support category (more updates, faster updates, better stability).

                  Telus already had a much smaller infographic about S/W updates. But the annoying part is the carrier part. They are the annoying people that cause delays in rollouts for their unwanted bloatware.

                    Japanese is so responsible compared to Chinese and you can find it on their devices such as sony.

                    This is why sony is on my list when it comes to smart phone, I have only two options in smart phone its either Motorola or sony their products really lasts.

                      HTC did this same thing and even have it on their website but it still didn’t deliver timely updates. Graphical presentation is not software!!

                          But this doesn‘t help the fact that with months of delay, they only released a rushed marshmallow for M4 Aqua which wasn‘t followed by any bug fix updates and it is still on July 2016 security.
