Strange to see Lenovo 2nd-ish on the 2nd graphic; it surely can't be including Motorola

    Samsung is so far from Stock Android, yet it's number 2.

    Samsung used to be notorious for slow and not frequent updates tho.

    Props to Samsung for fixing that!

      Quote from article "People are keeping their phones longer - the upgrade cycle in the US, Europe and China is now close to 30 months"

      Probably because newer phones are actually worse?
      They have less features and cost more money. It's not difficult to work out really. Smartphone companies are just run by fools who don't listen to their customers.

      OnePlus and Samsung removing the headphone jack is a good example of that.

      The Note 10 is inferior to the Note 9. Smaller battery, lower resolution screen, no headphone jack and no micro SD. How stupid do they think we are?

        IpsDisplay, 30 Aug 2019Guess what too tonnes of those Nokia phones have mediatek p... moreTrue, they are the same people (majority of them, at least) who think iPhones are better and more expensive, while Android is worse but cheaper (BS, the Fold is over £2000 man). Nokia is my favourite brand but I try to show as little bias as possible to them, Nokia value build quality which is why their products are slightly higher price, don't think these Indians know what a Unique Selling Point is.

                Guess what too tonnes of those Nokia phones have mediatek processors yet still we have people(mostly from indians)blabbing about no software updates for mediatek

                    Meanwhile I'm still rocking my Samsung Galaxy S4 with the latest Android Pie (LineageOS 16)! Headphone jack, removable battery, latest software, and not having to pay anything for these so called 'upgrades'!

                      "It keeps getting better" It's true, I am using Nokia Plus and my older brother has the 8.1. The 7 plus is much better than the other SD660, camera is mind blowing in this budget. 8.1 performance, camera, battery are way better than the Realme 3 Pro, Note 7 pro or other 710 based phones. CAN'T WAIT FOR 7.2!

                        So sad that my Nokia 6 was spoiled by heavy rain during marathon last November, otherwise it should updated to pie too

                          I love Nokia but their prices are quite high in our country. Hope they'd have more competitive pricing without sacrificing the quality of their phones

                            Nokia phones are among the buggiest out there, but hey at least they're the quickest to release the newest firmware.

                              Any data for Sony and Blackberry?

                                HMD is really doing justice to the legend. This brand is not ordinary.. itÂ’s an emotion

                                  LG, that's pathetic... Well done Nokia.
