just look at the mess called Android TV. And all of them are based on MTK SoC. When I did get my TV it was lollypop on it. With a bunch of bugs and missing prommised/marketed features. A year and a half later MM came and break even more of those "smart" functionalities. I can't write on disks any more, USB disks plugged in TV gets remounted with different ID so they are invisible to the apps, storage formated as internal dissapear. They dont use standard android APIs so passthrough is broken, 4k youtube is a mess...... Few updates later ATV1 platform is still on MM with all the bugs thet were there with first MM based FW. Meanwhile ATV2 platform did recive nougat update but the same things are broken there also. Happy reading https://github.com/CiNcH83/sony_atv/...ssue+is%3Aopen
So if they can't get their shite together on a 1000+€ devices with just two SoCs in use across all manufacturers then what can you expect from phones. The first thing I look in the phone is not to be based on mediacrap SoC.
