For the past 8 years corporate has supplied me with a Cell phone. Now with a change of policy, Corporate will pay for the service, but I have to buy the phone.
I'm pondering going all in and getting a unlocked Galaxy S8 and was curious what the updates process was like on those versus having them pushed from the carrier. I read some comments on the Samsung forums that imply unlocked phones are the last to get updates released. That seems backwards to me, so I wanted to get some input from people who have unlocked Samsung phones. My son has been on the OnePlus phones for a few years and he's upgrading to various OSes to include running the latest Android 7.0 release. I assumed all unlock phones were fairly easy to upgrade to the latest versus waiting for the carrier to release it. Am I all wet on that?
Thanks
