TechCapon: As someone who moved from nougat to pie, I will argue that there is a huge difference. From Oreo to pie, well not much. Nevertheless, Google may have cooled things off in Android a bit to give more time to KaiOs and Google Fuchsia. Still, I dont see Android dying off so soon, infact, something may trigger a change in design soon. All it takes is one Vivo or Oppo to make a crazy design and boom, Android takes a new shape If anything, lack of supporting technology in Nigeria (and many places sha) limits Android growth. By now the Os should have had full support for AR and VR at the basic level 1 Like |

Godwin2am: Name, brand etc. Buy Chinese and see phones prices crash. There's Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo. Those are flagship killers. It hurts we can't get them into Nigeria. Transsion holdings (Infinix, Tecno, Itel) is killing us with prices |

Never underestimate the importance of security updates. Anti-virus are updated almost every 12 hours, will you ever see any major change? In terms of System Upgrades, it suppose to be every 2 years but they need to respond to trending technology demands of their consumers based on their survey. So, releasing every year is understandable. But to say, no noticeable change in upgrading operating systems is far from being true. Battery and apps optimization, support for new apps, and security are always better in every OS upgrades. The only updates I found useless are the apps updates from Google store. Most frequently used apps release updated like every week with no major useful changes and experience. 2 Likes |

texazzpete: Thank you for this. Unless op has a Google or Nokia or other android one device, it is unlikely he actually has update fatigue. The first question is has he actually read up on the new features of each android build? Every year, Google and apple make some paid apps or rooting requirements obsolete. https://developer.android.com/preview Just a quick glance through there. Google is already taking proactive steps to make android q foldable ready. This just comes across as a huawei hatchet job. 1 Like |

Lol see them, most of the updates might be minimal, but because it's a rom it has to be packaged wholly that's why it always large doesn't meant there will be new features external for you to see, most of the updates may contain fixes, performance improvement , support for more drivers especially the Graphic Card component. Don't always expect a new feature. |

Topmaike007: Actually @2kurupt hits it on the head, most MTK companies do not have the time writing software for their devices , besides if you wanted some features you would have gone for a reasonable company like Xiaomi |

stanley000: be straight up and head high you're an iphone fan boy, you're like apple don't out date apps and os. they do on a regular basis like every other commtech outfit. if I may say they are worse for it for you pay for virtually everything. for your info android goes for more than you've just and trying to ridicule it. mine wife has being on a tecno Camon X for two years plus and no regrets or any move to change it for now, for it is delivering optimally for her. recently she walked head high when colleagues with iphone question her during one their outing for a make-up collaboration shoot, funny enough the unedited pictures from her device outdone the apple devices. |

I am currently on Q developers version.. Features like bubble,dark team,app pin and special gapps features are awesome. But it's a fact that u cant compare this with some custom ROMs those these few years. Google seemed to have succeeded in killing the custom ROM dev by partially making MATERIAL DESIGN not fully open source again for developers to play and fork the os to their tastes.The end of CyanogenMod has also slowed b the dev even though they r now lineageOs.Also other Rims like Omni,ressurection, paranoid,dirty unicorns, have slowed down because they build as baseroms....let's see how HONGMENG will perform |

TechCapon: There have been a change in what Google prioritize over the years. Focus has shifted from d visual swag u can see to privacy, security, user experience n Ai. The Android game u used to play 5 years ago, are they still the same wack game u now play. The Google map u used to use, are they still d same map u use now? I am a beta user of Google map street view. Android has evolved to support those complexities. I use a Google phone so our skin of Android might be different n hence our opinion. It is now almost as difficult to hack a pixel device just like d iPhone. Bottom line, if u are using a wack device. You might have a negative impression of Androids. Just the same way every shouts that glo network is wack but my phone hardly drops it's 4G glo signal 1 Like 1 Share |
