Android Updates on Nexus devices

[eseerc]

Hi everyone.

From what I understand, updates to Android come much quicker on Nexus devices than other phone manufactures. My question.... does this only pertain to Nexus devices on Google's Fi service or do all Nexus devices (regardless of carrier) receive the updates more quickly?

ALL Nexus devices. The updates for Nexus devices don't go through carrier testing/certification like happens with carrier-branded devices.
