Some Android phone manufacturers are lying to users about missed security updates
As if Android updates weren’t bad enough

Android phones are infamously slow to get updates — as of Google’s last update in February (https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16975714/android-nougat-google-oreo-marshmallow-most-used-devices-developer-update-numbers), only 1.1 percent of Android users have access to the latest version of the software — but apparently, the problems with Android’s software updates go deeper than that. Research firm Security Research Labs is claiming that numerous Android manufacturers are lying to users about missed security patches, according to a report from Wired (https://www.wired.com/story/android-phones-hide-missed-security-updates-from-you).
