when we, as customers, purchase our smartphones, keeping up with operating system updates is what we usually expect. Especially when most people, who are not grandfathered in to a subsidized plan, either pay full retail for their precious devices, or are on a payment plan. Its time that Google treats ALL of its customers fairly. I realize that the nexus line of phones will receive their system updates first because thats googles own line. But why must we wait for our own carriers to pass this update to us when their "good and ready" . Google has just announced android N, and while we're all supposed to get excited, im still stuck on lollipop. NOT EVEN MARSHMALLOW. It's time for Google to either push out these over-the-air updates directly, or make carriers put them out in a timely manner. Whether you own a nexus brand of phone or not, if it runs android, your a Google customer and Google is making good money off of you. I've got an LG V10, and galaxy S6 edge. Not a 5 year old phone. I should have had my update to marshmallow long ago. Especially considering that I pay a premium for VERIZON WIRELESS, and not a lower grade carrier plan. Now many blame the carrier. But who holds the cards-GOOGLE. I know theres a way to "flash" the update, but I'm not into that as are 90% of smartphone owners, and we SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. So email google and tell them how you feel. Will it help? Maybe not. But then its time to get lawmakers involved.
