- This is if Google releases the updated version of android, first the OEM must get the updated android and again want to change the AOSP code and configure their software with the MIUI or KIRIN or EXYNOS and then only they release the update to their user. For this reason, it takes some time.
- Due to some apps running in the background they have to provide some additional battery optimization software.
