I bought the Pixel because I was told I was getting Android directly from Google as they were released. Lo and behold Oreo gets released last week and still no OTA update a week later.
I know I know I could just get into the beta program and get it today but that's not the point of my post. I'm talking about OTA.
Getting the updates directly from Google when they're released I honestly and maybe naively thought I was getting it on the same day like the iPhone. But now we have to wait for carrier testing (which is always pretty slow because carriers are crap) and all we're being told by Google is 'soon' which honestly means nothing. I was a Motorola user and my Moto X Play was supposed to get Nougat 'soon' a year ago and it's still not available.
Is this delay normal? User of Nexus phones, how long approximately did you usually have to wait for new versions of Android?
