To be fair my pixel got the update to android 17 and I didn't notice a single thing that changed. Then again they get 7 years of version updates so the start vs the eol version will be a much bigger gap.

The reason I skipped past those rugged phones fast was not the mayor version updates, but the fact that security updates end way too early. A quick lookup says they don't even publish eol dates which is jikes.

    I had a phone that I loved, Cosmo Communicator, and it never received a version update. The version shipped was already one behind, and after a few years apps started to not work on the thing. The Linux dual boot was also kind of jank, so its mostly a paperweight for me now. I don't care as much about os changes as I do about app updates for some things.

    That machine would have been so awesome if it had been handled properly. I was so disappointed when I saw that it was going nowhere.

    The hardware was decent, but the company behind it seemed to want to ship a new device every 9 months instead of supporting something long term. It would have been nice if they were a little more open so that the community could do something with it.
