Do I have to have a phone from Google to keep the Google Play update current?

So the only way to keep Google Play current is to have a cell phone from Google?!

Not really correct if your referring to the Google play services

Google does prioritize Pixels over OEMs for a number of features. Google Play system updates for Galaxy devices are on a separate (often delayed) release schedule to ensure compatibility with One UI.

The version of Play System may not be as current as Pixels, but it is the most current for your specific device.

Samsung will resume Play system updates this month. See this article for more info:
