Lots (probably even a majority, if we do headcount) of Android phones don't give a fuck about Open Handset Alliance or having Google Play frameworks installed at all.

Supposedly newer Snapdragon chips should get 4 years of security and Android OS compatibility from Qualcomm. I wonder when that 4 years starts because if it takes a year for phones to use a new chip, then it's still more like 3 years.

Samsung and Google can do 5 years of support because of Exynos/Tensor, and Samsung basically spends the money to support older Qualcomm devices themselves.
