Add the update policy to the cons. 2 major versions and 3 years of security updates is just bad, especially for a device of this price range

Yeah this is one of my two problems with Sonys best phones even though I am the exact type of enthusiast they are after; the other being the often slow and confused launch that results in crap and delayed availability. There is zero chance I will ever buy a premium phone (and a grand is premium for me) unless I can trust it has multiple years of updates. Samsung does stuff wrong all the time but at least I know they will support their premium phones for the advertised price.
