Android One vs Stock Android

[Vikas Chopra]

Hi All I have Question If I have phone with Android One (e.g. xiaomi Mi A2) and other with Stock Andriod E.g. (Motorola G7) . So which phone will get latest updates and security Patches, as per my knowledge Mi A2 will get latest updates and patches as its under Android one progam. Please explain?

Android One is probably as near as "stock Android" as you can get I think. It comes direct from Google, and they push all updates directly to the Android One devices. Don't know exactly what Motorola(Lenovo) does, but I suspect they modify and customise it in their own way, and it's them pushing out updates and not Google.

Your Android One will get the updates quicker than your Motorola and is as close to pure android as a Nexus or Pixel device.

I don't know of any manufacturer selling "stock android". The Essential PH-1 was probably closer than the Pixels, and as said above and an Android One device is probably as close to stock as you can buy. You always get some manufacturer or Google stuff added in.
