I only buy Android One phones now. Monthly security updates for several years, guaranteed. Pretty stock Android, too.

Great? Perhaps not. But much better than the phones manufacturers just dump onto the market and then forget about.

I thought Android One devices had stopped receiving regular updates? I know I read a report that most/all of them had yet to receive Android 11 two months ago and that security updates were now being released months after they used to be. If I recall that report correctly, it sounded like new devices had all but stopped being released and that it seemed like the program is on life support now. I know that program was very locale-specific, so maybe that was just in the US?
