Hello,
my Rogers locked HTC M8 is fully updated (latest Sense, Android 6,etc). However the Android Security Patch level is showing Dec 2015. All my other devices (Redmi Note 3 Pro, Nexus 9) show much more recent patch levels. Why is that and should I be concerned?

Hello @sprung,
As @Meowmix stated, the htc One m8 is no longer supported by Rogers - you will have to root it. FYI: I just migrated away from the htc One M8 - my m8 is also at Android security patch level Dec/2015.
Are you looking to upgrade to a newer handset? I see that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are $0 on a 2-year Share Everything+ plan, and that the Galaxy S8 is available for $249 on the same 2-year plan (bonus with S8: Samsung Gear VR+controller, 6-month Netflix subscription included).
I have the S7 Edge and it is awesome - fast and runs everything well (I have ~150 apps installed, and don't wait with app switching, loading, etc).
But...no front-facing stereo speakers! 😞

Hello @sprung,
No offence taken. The promotions being offered by Canadian providers are a way to get great devices at $0 up-front...but pay in the long run ("device balance"). It helps if you negotiate a Customer Loyalty (retentions) package for all services up-front.
I have always kept an eye on the Chinese market, and frequently purchase things from there via eBay or IT suppliers (CDW, Ingram Micro, TigerDirect, etc). The Xiomi Redmi Note 3 Pro is a cool piece of tech, no doubt.
