Android 17 is the only Android release with the current set of disclosed Moderate and Low severity patches. Android 16, 16 QPR2 and 17 will soon be the only releases with the current set of disclosed Critical and High severity patches too. Once Android 18 is released, it will be the only one.

Vast majority of Linux kernel vulnerabilities aren't covered by Android Security Bulletins, externally disclosed patches are backported very slowly and Android Security Bulletins come 2-4 months later than when Android patches can be shipped. If you want bare minimum patches, use iOS or GrapheneOS.
