Good news for android overall. Hopefully, this could be extended to other OEMs by 2025 and not be optional like virtual A&Bs when it arrives.

(Meanwhile, my current smartphone running 4.19… )

    My long battery life performant phone running Android with kernel 4.14.116 would like an update but it was abandoned years ago. Which is a shame.

    8gb ram 256gb storage and a locked Bootloader. Sad times

      I feel your pain. A past phone I had did have an unlockable bootloader but it needed service due to a manufacturing defect. The one they gave me as the replacement was a carrier version with a locked bootloader.
