Razer Phone 1 abandoned by Razer
So today i plug in my old sony that i use to play music and receive the update notification. Its a lower end 200 euros phone and it's still getting security updates. Meanwhile this 700 euros phone doesn't have a security update in almost 1 year. Not talking about Pie, just a simple security update. How much work can it be? When i used custom roms on my Htc10, the developers who have other jobs and maitain the roms as a hobby/sidegig always put out the updates a few days (at most) after Google released them. Don't believe that on an very close to stock Android skin like Razer uses, that it would be too much work for some dev on their team to put out the security updates.is it too much to ask or expect from a phone that costs one month work here in Portugal?
Can't help to feel let down by Razer. I took a chance on their first attempt at the phone market, and in return they abandon us. Needless to say that if they don't correct this i will never buy a Razer product again. I took a chance on this phone based on my positive past experience with the brand, that is changing each day that passes.
There's no reason not to maitain a phone that I'm actually very happy with,and still performs great. But it starts to feel unsafe to have my bank app on a phone without security updates for 1 year.
May this be a stark reminder to anyone thinking of buying a Razer Phone, they will abandon you shortly after you part ways with your hard earned cash.
