Well the x90pp got December and March security patch only so far since being presented end of November (with October patch). Next one therefore should be June, because May will not appear anymore else it would be out as public trial already

Trial updates yes, but without security patches (except closed beta). Up to April there was about a monthly update, but they didn't include up to date security patches.

The same will very likely happen with origin os , new origin os version (which will change absolutely nothing if you have a decent debloat with custom launcher) but no android version upgrade

    Bit pants but can live without dark mode.
    Been keeping light mode on recently, on my edge 30 ultra, in preparation for the bugs of the X90PP

    For me neither but I don't know if it's related to the phone triggering something because of restricting the rights with app ops (and now unable to reverse anything as it locked me out of additional rights - but I will not hard reset it as I don't want to invest any more time in this crapware and only have to endure another 2 months or maybe reconsider and wait for Pixel 8 Pro).

    Also I don't see anywhere where you could download a rom for local install.

    The x70 pro plus last update bump security patch to February 2023
    The X90 PP will follow shortly
    Ah I guess this shortly is vivo speak for nothing happening in 17 days .. (and then the staged rollout using trial updates will take at least 7 days more for stable updates once it's ever published...

    X90PP still having received a single security update since it was released (December patch end of December) likely that one was considered important as by that time many reviews written.

    Stating something as a fact that doesn't happen...
    Seems we have to be lucky if that crappy software with a 9.8 rated actively exploited bug is updated every three months. Sales of x90pro+ must have been dismal vs the expectations after the huge marketing campaign so now just treat it like a budget phone update wise...

    Btw the march security patches by google include a fix for a zero day exploit which is actively exploited (full phone can be taken over, bug in the Samsung modem) and it's enough to know the telephone number of the user... Several vivo phones affected, amongst them x30,x50,x60 series... No patch yet for them.. Samsung and google published the updates for affected phones already, vivo hasn't. But yeah who cares, it's just a 9.8 /10 critical bug, right?

    There was a 9.7 level bug in the February update that applies to the x90pp. It's very likely it's actively exploited too otherwise it would not get such a high score... This no update policy is simply a security nightmare by vivo.
    Can only hope that google announces to remove certification for phones with slow updates else vivo likely won't improve...

    The promise is only for funtouch OS, and while the x70 pro plus with funtouch OS got android 12 and 13, origin OS only got 13 and never 12....

    With the x70pro+ the real precessor of the x90pro+ I would not hold much hope. Especially seeing it will enter March on December security update which for a new flagship is simply intolerable. Xiaomi and BBK seem to outdo each other in who can provide slower updates, but BBK clearly wins on the we can provide less major upgrades than any other major producer...

    And no no bootloader unlock/root for x90 series! So no way for AOSP.
