I give you the reason in all you said.
But keep in mind a couple of things, I have been using OP since OP3, OP5, OP6 (twice, the first OP6 lost in few weeks
) and now OP 7 Pro. Never had a single problem included this last OS11 update.
For sure this time, OP is delaying too much the update, and I dunno why. But in general I'm quite happy with OP.
As said before, I hope this is not going to become in a bad practice, anyway my next phone will not be an OP either.
Talking about the price, I never buy the firsts OPS units that come out to the market.
This way, firstly, you avoid some premature bugs (fabrication, software, hardware, screen,..).
And secondly you get your unit cheaper. I am from Europe, and all my OPS come from China.
Never spent more than 500/600€ for the best OP series.
Security patches? Well, I don't know. Now I have these ones in my phone. February and March and I think is good..
