"HMD Global has announced the rollout of Android 10 for the Nokia 8.1, making it the first Nokia smartphone to get a stable build of the latest version of Android."

Is this good news for any Android One phone, or Android One project, or is it a matter of manufacturers that build the phones, maybe this could have good effect on development of Android 10 for A2 Lite ?
Nokia always gave timely updates to their devices, this matter doesn't really have any effect on other androidone devices. Nokia also adds other features to their phones (they're all androidone afaik), like round ui, pixel blue accent color and cam2api. As far as updates go, xiaomi isn't that good with their androidone phones, so don't get your hopes up and get frustrated afterwards. I would love to have Android 10 soon but, I know it's not gonna happen. Cheers.
its strictly related to nokia, this. the fact that they will push it sooner then xiaomi means nothing to us. it all depends on Xiaomi when they will start working for it, and when will they release... nokia is known for being faster to update then xiaomi thats for sure. so just sit and wait
...or, you could install unofficial android 10, there is a good GSI version here on xda which works fairly well.

My brother is using a Nokia 7 plus and I had Android 9 weeks before him and even with security updates Nokia isn't faster all the time compared to Xiaomi.
I've never managed to get any kind of custom rom working through TWRP because of the kinstalldeviceopenerror.

Okay let me ask this, do you consider the Pie update we got as stable? Because I still think that we never got a stable build of Pie from Xiaomi. I can't even update to September update because it breaks the digitizer for me and I can't even use the screen properly. I have no idea how stable is Nokia's version of Pie but maybe you can enlighten us about that.

In my eyes our Android Pie is very stable. I never had to reboot my device due to system instability bugs. The worst one I ever had was the screen rotate flash bug. My battery backup after one year of usage is still superb, usually I get 7 hours of screentime within 5-6 days of usage. Most reported bugs appear to be on devices which had installed custom firmware and messed up vendor partitions.
The only thing I dislike on this device is the low headphone sound volume while using a European Union display language. I'm just using U.S. English to fix that.
I don't know about bugs in Nokia phones, my brother never told me about anything special and I can't check his phone because he's in England and I'm in Germany.
Any news for Android 10 update?

Nothing official, but I think q1/2020 would be a good guess.
Last year Mi A1 got the Android 9 update on the 23rd of december.
My guess is Mi A2 Lite will get Android 10 in late december.
Hey,
I love my Pixel 2 and I have now received the last official Google update, running Android 11.
My question is what is the risk if I stick with my end of life official android version on my Android 11?
I've got no real urge to move to Lineage OS, especially as it's currently only up to android 10 for the Pixel 2 (Thanks to those guys still doing the development, I don't mean to belittle their efforts).
I don't really understand if there's a huge security risk involved in keeping my phone going as long as possible without further Official updates. I've changed the battery and charging port on the phone and it runs like new. I also enjoy the Android 11 features. Do you expect that Lineage will continue to Android 11 for the Pixel 2?
Thanks in Advance

The risk is probably small, but since we're no longer getting basic Android security updates, technically those vulnerabilities could be used to hack your phone.
What does your Pixel 2 say under Settings -> About Phone -> Android version (tap on it)?
Mine is showing:
Android version
11
Android security update
October 5, 2020
Google Play system update
December 1, 2020
Kernel version
4.4.223-ElementalX-P2-4.09
Build number
RP1A.201005.004.A1
Shouldn't the security update also be December? I'm curious if yours shows December for everything.

Until then a flagship 9 series sits on a Nov security patch. Oxygen Os coming
They seriously think leaving everyone on November security update is going to be acceptable? They are really shooting themselves in the foot if they're going to force people to wait close to a year with no new update.
We will get some type of A12 Oxygen operating system and mainly 3-4 security patches before A13 comes.
This literally made my day.
Thanks for sharing the news!

I couldn't find any categories for Schok so I'm posting here. Feel free to move if needed. I saw this phone which was launched a couple weeks ago and is labeled the" 2022 edition".
Schok Freedom Turbo XL - Schok Gear
The most advanced flip phone in its class. The Schok classic is made for consumers who enjoy life without complications.
www.schokgear.com
It comes with Jan 2022 security update on the phone out of the box. Does anyone know if Schok ever updates their phones with security updates? What about Android updates? I don't care about 5g, but the phone comes with Android 10 which I think is a little outdated for a new phone in 2022. If not is there a way of updating these ourselves both for security updates and Android OS?
Picked up one of these for 50% off to play with. Phone is already OEM unlocked and ready to have the bootloader unlocked. I plan on rooting it with the stock OS. However, I'm in a dilemma and would like folks' opinions on how they like Android 11 or 12 on this phone. I have not updated it yet to Android 12 and have auto updates disabled.
IMHO.,....Same sh*t different day, the only advancements are going to come from Motorola itself not Google.
