Google confirms Android attacks; no fix for most Samsung users

Never mind the December security patches, Samsung haven't even released the November patches yet, the ones for the critical severity RCE. Unless you have a "major flagship model" [1], because apparently only the richest users deserve to be secure.

Samsung for the longest time was releasing updates way too late, and what they were releasing monthly was old patches.

Buying a device directly from Samsung may be different, but the manufacturer still has to usually convert the pure android update to their branch.

Still, trying to find a pure android phone is important. More manufacturers used to make them.
