I'm not gonna lie: This time of year is usually a bit of downer here in the land o' Android analysis.I've been tracking device-makers' speed at sending out Android operating system updates to their devices for quite a while now, y's ee — since somewhere around the early 1800s.
And with rare exception, the results are pretty much always bad news.Calling it "bad news" is probably being generous: With almost every year in recent memory, we've seen upgrade delivery performance from most of the big Android device-makers get progressively worse, despite Google's ongoing efforts to make the process easier.
Last year was a slight exception, with a couple of moderate improvements, but it was still a ridiculously depressing picture all in all — with only two non-failing grades in a sea of cold indifference.
