Although there are many manufacturers of Android phones, getting them to update your device isn't always easy. Even some of the biggest Android makers can sometimes take months to release an update, and it's usually a stat Apple loves to slide a slide at during iOS events.
If you want to buy a fast update Android phone, you should check out the latest white paper from Counterpoint Research, which features the best providers with the fastest updates, such as Nokia, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei.
Nokia leads the ranking with 96% of its smartphones sold since the third quarter of 2018 with the latest version of Android, Android Pie. Samsung follows at 89%, Xiaomi at 84% and Huawei at 82%.

The full Counterpoint Research report can be viewed by clicking here. It's worth noting that vendors like OnePlus aren't included in this report, which we imagine is one of the fastest at releasing Android updates.
Counterpoint Research says that device manufacturers need to redouble their efforts to provide regular software and security updates to their users.
