all I got was the 1.December 2016 patch when I got my V20 couple weeks ago.
What to expect in future?
What to expect in future?
Perhaps 7.1 update
Well, in terms of cost, if they can deploy 7.1 That's would be less time consuming and the cost will likely be less considering the 7.1 will have the patches included and perhaps more.You think they skip further patches for 7.0 and go straight 7.1?

The patch released in Jan is the Dec patch. Effectively 3 months up and no update that has been released. Sad but true.It depends on the carrier. I'm on Verizon and I have a January patch.
Well, problem is manufacturers, they are the ones that needs to push those updates. That's why there are a lot of inconsistency. Google nexus and pixels are fine.Sad but true... as long as the majority of people are happy upgrading their phones every year or so, there is no incentive for OEM's and carriers to push out updates. It makes no business sense when peple are willing to spend money to get the "updates".
I have been an Android affecianodo since day one but I am beginning to think that (CR)apple has got it right when it comes to updates.

Security updates are great. UI updates almost always create more problems than solutions. Look at the s7e threads where people want to bump their phones back out of Nougat to Marshmallow
They didn't expect worse battery life which is what they apparently got.It doesn't mean they were bad .. a good mix of that is people just not liking change. I saw some beg for Android N and then were shocked things changed once they got it -- not sure what they expected .

Surprising since Nougat is designed for better battery life.
Well that's why I don't shout for updates (except the security kind). IME ui updates are annoying and cause problems. No question part of it is not liking change but often functions that I liked just disappear or don't work properly. I remember one update that screwed up led notifications. Another caused problems accessing the sd card. All sorts of issues. I don't care if my V20 ever gets 7.1 let alone 8. Just give me prompt security updates and I'm happy.
Oh I know that. I am recommending that folks might consider being less anxious to receive updates. I love buying a new phone. I hate updates.And that is fine that is what you want but when manufacturers look at the majority -- majority want the latest.
