And here i am with my phone still stuck on 14... I know it was a short time between 15 and 16, but still, catch up a little bit! Honestly, my only complaint about Android. I am not a fan of the pixel series either.

Edit: Never mind! I decided to check for an update and found it was ready as of early May, but for some reason, my phone didn't check. Installing now. Now to wait another 8 months for 16.

IMO the only problem with using older version are security updates, or better, lack of them.

Security updates have been separate for a while now, no? So within reason an older version of android shouldn't be detrimental.

They are, but they stop coming eventually as well.
