By far the biggest pain point of Sony.. their software is clean stable and fast, with acceptable release cadence, but their promise of 2 years is completely unacceptable in this day
Honestly I love their hardware design. I think it's the best out.
But I love custom ROMs more.
If they simply opened up their devices I wouldn't care about how many official OS updates they offer, because I would be using a ROM that would keep constantly updating.
Although currently there's very little interest in ROM development for Sony phones. Kinda like the chicken or the egg.
Really just want flagship hardware with custom ROMs.
Notably mentions 5 OS updates for Google, which may end up being the policy for the Pixel 8 series (so far we only know in general 7 years of updates).
