Android OS updates have been a hot topic since the platform’s launch back in 2007, and while some manufacturers have become good about pushing out updates in a timely manner, others are still a bit slow. According to a new report, Google knows this and is trying to change it.
Sources speaking to Bloomberg say that Google is ranking the various Android device makers based on how up-to-date their phones are with security patches and OS updates. Google actually shared its list with Android partners earlier this year, the sources say, but that might change.
