Security Updates

[martinparker28]

In a now closed thread @Anders_ASUS said, and I quote  "We normally update every other month. If any major security risk has been discovered, then we will do our best to push the next security update as fast as possible"..... my Asus Zenfone 8 is still on 5th April security update and even with my basic maths that's 3 months tomorrow!!!!

some questions... is really hard implemet security update into android ? when devs update security patch, is need testing ? how long test it ? we dont need immediately fresh security patches, but at least 15-20 day in month would be ok ...

Security patches need a lot of testing yes.

From my understanding , they can also break certain features and cause bugs on existing implementation, meaning they would need to be rewritten to work for the security update and generally that is what takes the most time.

That's bull fart!
Samsung can release security update before Google did it.
Their One UI is even more customized than zenfone 8.
And now you told me it takes "time" to test it ?
I think both of us know why cause security update delay.
"Lousy".

Nowhere did I say just because it takes time that others cant do it faster than Asus has.
