Android Security Patch Level

My Gold Axon 7 still using MAY 1, 2016 security patch. Just read that Samsung is pushing out SEP security patches, as well as other carriers pushing out everything newer that what the Axon 7 uses. How come we don't at least get security patches more frequently??
Where are you located? Iirc, both the US and the EU version should have received updates with at least the July security patch.
Located in the US

Tried checking for updates wireless and cellular connected. I have Cricket wireless. Not sure why others are getting the updates, I assume some are in the US??

Very odd. US retail models launched with B18.
When did you get your device? What retailer did you buy it from? Were you part of a ZTE focus/test group or something? Do you have capacitive navigation buttons, or on-screen navigation buttons?

how? I tried everything and it doesn't work..
I'm in UK too but I can't get it to work, is it because I bought it from O2 with contract? Do know know if they still lock their phones?

I connected to Russia via a VPN.
Then did update check - found the update and applied it (whilst disconnected from VPN)
I'm also on O2 but brought the device sim free and not via O2
These days O2 do not lock phones (and for those that are locked they generally give free unlock codes)

I tried the same thing but no luck, maybe it's because O2 deals with the update and not Oppo, being bought on a contract.
Do you have the option to change your region in settings? I can only change the language.

Mate...use URBAN VPN from Play Store.
Open it. Select India. Leave it running until data starts coming through.
Go to Settings>>>Software Update
Done. No need to change your phone's region or language.
I'm in UK and did it this way to update to c.28

still nothing, It might be because I bought it from O2 on contract and it might be the carrier that deals with the update, other than that I don't see any explanation

mine is the 5g version and I think it's carrier exclusive type of stuff, because even in the build number it's CPH1921 O2 A.21.
I had phones from them a long time but I thought they were done with those custom software put on top.
last phone I had from them was the OnePlus 5T and usually there was no delay with software updates

Yeah...looks like it could be carrier specific if it has O2 in the firmware name. I assume there are O2 apps preinstalled?

I was thinking...if the device could somehow pickup the latest global non-O2 version, you may be able to update better from there.
However...if the device us locked to O2 you won't be able to.
To check locking to carrier...try another carrier SIM if you can

It works with other sim, and I tried wifi update through recovery but nothing.
I downloaded the lastest version available here:
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno 5G
I did manage to install it through recovery but it seems it's only the May security patch

It's all that's available then at the moment.
Not sure if any other 5G user has managed an update.
Hang in there dude! I'm sure one will be along soon

october patch around 230 MB. Just performed an OTA on my unlocked firmware with verizon csc.
Never through i would see the day where unlocked firmware updates get ahead of the carriers.
Still waiting on mine. I am unlocked on Tmobile. My last update was done manually though...so we will see.

I got my unlocked phone on 10/1 from Samsung. Immediately, I got update for September patch. Now I checked it, it showing no updates available.
I am in US, Tmobile network.

Use Frija to manually download and Odin to Manually flash your phone if its important for you else just wait for updates if you dont like to tinker.

Yeah, i think i will wait. I think in couple of days every one will get it.
So crazy that Sprint drops right away but TMB has been dead last, considering they are merging to 1 company. You'd think they'd merge the updates departments considering it's literally duplicate work for many phones.
Heck, even Verizon and ATT have been beating TMB. On the s9+, s10+ and N10+, I would usually see TMB or Comcast beating everyone, with ATT typically being last.

Also considering how the ROM is essentially exactly the same except for CSC features and how easily we all flash the updates they should actually work on the update teams consolidation. TMB sucks these days and the way devices get updated in US it sucks that one loses the advantage of unlocked device the moment they put in a carrier sim.

It's just odd that I bought a U1 directly through Samsung but I'm waiting on the ota. I had thought Samsung released directly for u1......

Same though I didn't buy from Samsung, I did buy it unlocked. Once you put in your sim then you are dependent on the Carrier to release an update even if you are on an unlocked phone. The best way to go about is to doodled using Frija or the Ota and Non Ota update thread and then flashing using Odin.

I always assumed it was Samsung who did that for their unlocked phones instead of the carriers.
it' up to carriers on unlocked phone.
i have unlocked ultra20 Ultra on Visible, NEVER gotten any ota.
instead of odin and flashing your phone with cable.
you can just insert a expired ATT simcard or expired Mint simcard and do a manual check for update and it will show up
