It is customary for major retailers to update their smartphones in a few weeks in order to make them compatible. But this is not always the case, the manipulation to be done is not always simple, and often very tedious. As a result, other companies may experience significant delays.
Indeed, they do not necessarily give much time to migrate their tablets and smartphones on new versions, the compatibility between hardware and software is a relatively long work to perform.
This explains why the adoption rate of new versions is not necessarily so high. Samsung, it turns out to be at the height, probably to preserve its image and the trust of its users.
