True, and potentially devastating to some. ---

This is the primary problem with the Android eco system, carriers who are slow or just outright don’t release updates/patches. It really needs to be fixed. ---

The guy responsible for Android security says it’s just as secure as Apple. [sarcasm]Well that’s an unbiased source[/sarcasm] Android took a HUGE step with the Pixel phone though because Google’s building it, selling it, and not allowing carriers to modify it. That means when a critical Android security update is published users will actually be able to get it that day, not 4-8 months later (or not at all if their phone is more than a year or so old). ---

Ive had the droid turbo pretty much from the day it was released. Today it commited suicided, so no I’m in the market for something new. I need something semi durable. The VZW guy told me to stay clear of the S7 edge and the pixel seeing id break the screen. The recommend to me the Moto z. Do I have any other semi durable options?
