The division is here and there one of the biggest problems on Android. This is reflected in the updates, noting the difference between gears when updated on Android 10. This distinction also affects the impact of security updates, security features that are released monthly. Although it seems that in this sense there is some obvious improvement.
SRLs is a company known as Germany's cybersecurity, which since 2018 is conducting research on the speed at which the security coins arrive on Android phones. The investigation leaves us with good news, because the speed at which they get calls is greater than ever.
Why you are interested in security patches and how you know when to use the latest
Why are security chemicals important for Android? How is it possible to know if they were all received on the phone? All the answers here
Security protection comes fast
This research has been ongoing since 2018, so it was possible to see the difference over time. In 2018, it took an average of 44 days to receive a monthly security takeover. The figure is reduced by 2020, since the average is now 38 days. This is the time since Google released this update or patch, until the manufacturer put it together.
So let's say delivery time improved by 15% security protection for Android. Noteworthy improvements, especially given the large split in Android. Although researchers have also discovered a few elements of interest in this study.
As phones upgrade to newer versions of Android, they are not manufacturers give priority to these types when introducing security updates. As a result, phones with older versions are left with older poles. It's a developing problem compared to 2018, but it hasn't been solved yet. Another thing where there is improvement is the abandonment of the heads. Fewer and fewer manufacturers are skipping patches, 0.3% yet (0.8% in 2018).
Google, Nokia and Sony are prominent
The research also shows which products on Android work best when it comes to removing such security layers from their phones. Google, Nokia and Sony are the better merging brands
On the other hand we have the same brand I stay, HTC or Xiaomi which takes a long time to update. Because these products usually take more than a month to present this framework on their phones. So users have to wait longer. Other products like Samsung or Huawei do better, because in their case it takes about two weeks on average that these leads can be released.
