Interestingly, it's the third time in a row when this is the device chosen by the company to be the first graced with new software.

        Can't be bothered with updates. They just make the phone slower. Happens to both Android and iOS.

          Sony X (F5122), released in February 2016, with a price of 6000UAH (about 240 USD), with QSD 650, 3/64Gb, 23MP, with super stereo music, with super speed, get the UPDATES till the 10th of every month more than 1 year... The same is like a dream for the samsung users. This is my first Sony after the Sams J710 (at a price of 305USD on the day of purchase, with the worst camera,
          and a terrible sound both from the outside and the headphones, which has a beautiful black but not visible in the bright sun and does not save the battery, as marketers say and nothing else !!). Korean brand should be ashamed for all crap what they sall for such money!

            S8 UK still stuck at August

                                (Google really has to be forced to take ownership of security updates on their operating system. Maybe it's time for class action lawsuits to get them to comply?)
