Android is a semi-failed experiment that Google can't afford to kill anymore. The only reason it's so successful is because Apple was the only game in town back then and Microshit and everyone else were sniffing glue.
Basically Android is the Windows of phones, except they managed to make it even worse.

Why would tv boxes need the latest os? We're they broken before or something?

What does 8 have that's useful?

iOS count capable phone to update, android count whole android devices had enter to AppStore.

I'd tell you this a really fucking stupid comparison but you already know that.

It's not available for my phone yet.
>t. Verizon/Samsung customer

IM SO FUCKING ANGRY OP I BOUGHT A FUCKING 2017 PHONE JUST TO GET THE LATEST UPDATE ONLY TO FIND THAT MY PHONE ISN'T ON THE UPDATE LIST

>less than half of Android devices run 6.0 or newer
jesus christ, that's even worse

indifferent

>Create an OS where 99% of users can't update whether they want to or not
>"Why isn't anyone updating?"
Call me when I can install the latest stock android to any phone like I can Windows or Linux on a PC

because you can run basically any app on android kitkat

I have a 4.4 tablet and 5.1 galaxy s4 which I use daily

OxygenOS 5.1 is still snappy af

I read how they're supposedly fixing this by fully separating the OS from the hardware in the next version or something, and putting OS-layer updates wholly under Google's control (so they can push updates like Apple does).

True?

Android is broken by design.
Google should've made it so that manufactures have to support devices for a certain amount of time or offer at least the security patches.
Would limit the diversification of android thought, but most devices are shit anyway.

Doubt.jpg

Project Treble will have to be specifically added to devices from what I've read. There's no guarantee that just because you have 8.0, that you'll benefit from this modularity.

Yes, but I believe with the next version it'll be mandatory.

>Microshit and everyone else were sniffing glue.
The WP existed, but tried to reinvent apple's modell as usual and failed as usual. Did someone with 2.3 have any REAL disadvantages aside old API? Not really.

Imagine if every laptop manufacturer had to maintain their own version of Windows and you couldn't install anything above Vista on a capable laptop. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Yet that's exactly what Android is doing.

>Did someone with 2.3 have any REAL disadvantages aside old API?
Incompatibility with most websites. Swiss cheese security, unable to upgrade most apps.

0.2% of the Android phones on the planet today in active use would surpass the number of iPhones that make up the 55% of their total number so Android still wins.

Think about it.

>Android is a semi-failed experiment that Google can't afford to kill anymore.
But they're going to.
And Android doesn't bring google any good money AT ALL.

They have already been moving components it to their own packages in the store for years now.

Makes me consider iOS. Current android OS scheme is anti-consumer and unsustainable.

Don't upgrade what's not broken. Marshmallow works great on my Nexus 7 and anything else makes it a laggy mess.

>82% of Android users are on Android versions older than two years old (6.0 was released in October 2015)

This is absolutely a big disappointment.

see

>Don't upgrade what's not broken. Marshmallow works great on my Nexus 7 and anything else makes it a laggy mess.

What about security updates?

>microsoft can keep their OS compatible and updated for even decade old hardware
youtube.com/watch?v=EksRYrLD5jY

>jewgle can't even keep 99% of their OS installations updated within the same year

>applel street shitters are node.js brainlets and each yearly """""update"""" causes a 50% slowdown

>microsoft pulls out of mobile market

Are we doomed forever Sup Forums?

Is there still hope that based Bill will release Surface Phone and save us from the hell that is the current """"smart""""phone cesspit?

>what's not broken
android is still fundamentally broken and has been since 3.0

What's fundamentally borked?

I only use this tablet for clover, youtube, and porn on my internal storage. Also realistically how many retards on Sup Forums get malware on Android? Has there been a outbreak that requires the absolute latest security patch?

Nobody gives a shit about android 8 you cant even install xposed there

Nougat is way better

To the people who don't know what the hell xposed is, it basically lets you modify things in the run, for example adding buttons in apps like instagram to download images videos livestreams etc or add an auto Snap save for snapchat, all of that using the official apps and way other things such as bypassing root checks of apps

Don't they get mad cash from the play store, and all the ads in apps?

Ridiculous amounts, actually. I remember reading an article that claimed it was around 1/3rd of their ad revenue comes from android.

They don't really count that as part of Play Store revenue as that's more Google Ads territory. Don't know why they don't.

What phone?

No because that wouldn't fit our narrative you retard

In Canada, the service providers are allowed to push updates to android phones. This means they can also hold back updates.

>2017
>buying anything other than an official Google phone (Pixel) or Apple phone
>expecting updates at all, ever

>there are android phones released THIS YEAR that will never get Oreo

>knowing practically everything there is to know about millions of people because you essentially have their consciousness logged
>worth zero dollars
you're dumber than a log of wood

its easy to understand why. phone manufacturers make shitty overpriced phones with little durability and dont update. the last update my tablet got (Android 5) was last april and i cant even upgrade to android 6. its everything on the manufacturers
applel doesnt have this prob because its one man makes all. they make the phone and software for it

Works the same way in America too. Some carriers refuse to push out updates to capable phones because they want people to buy their latest.

>not buying bb, nokia or moto
Pixel and iphones made for idiots.

Name 1

>its everything on the manufacturers
Microsoft Windows operating systems don't have this problem.

one

M$ Win$hit run on computers only. the Win$shit phones are made by either M$ or some other company paid by M$. ofc the prob isnt there

Android is already perfect so people don't care about updates.

LOL

Blackberry, Nokia, maybe back in the 1980s, they're now hollow shells of their former selves. I wouldn't be surprised if they got taken over by some other company tomorrow.

Don't even get me started on Lenovola. Their flagship in 2015, Moto X Pure, never got Nougat update. They promised for Nougat update more than a year ago. They used to be good back when Moto was under Google. Now that they're under a Chinese company, they're dog shit. Don't even get me started. Moto brand is absolutely dead.

>Incompatibility with most websites.
Change user agent.
>Swiss cheese security,
Literally nothing if you don't install random apk from fishy sites or noname apps from the store.
> upgrade most apps
It's usually a good thing.

idc what were they, but moto should be easy to upgrade as they are low on bloat.

Ok kid.

>have older iphone
>forced to update OS that's optimized for newer hardware and notice sluggish performance
>have older android
>stay on an OS version that's on par with the limitations of the hardware that's comfortable to use

My phone wants to update to 8.0 but I feel no need for it, and I'm out of storage because of how many stupid updates it's done

So why don't they?

Blame Lelnovo.

>5.1
My phone is still vulnerable to stagefright

Ding ding. Moto as a brand is dead due to Lenovo.

Pixel and Apple are the only brands left worth considering, due to security updates.

>tfw no more wp

A bigger number

>Doesn't have an answer
>Ok kid.
Ok kid.

What's that pic even supposed to mean? You get in an Android/iOS thread and post a pic of your shitty laptop

Yes, the bluetooth vulnerability. If you're not updating don't use bluetooth.

KRACK. Even modern secured Wi-Fi is easily broken.

Some 5.1s may be patched against it.

When my phone was on 5.1 it was tested as not vulnerable but with the upgrade to 6.0 new vulnerabilities were present that took some time to be patched.

Without Android they'd be at the mercy of Apple for access to mobile. If Apple decided to go vertical for search and social media too it would be the end of Google.

The opportunity cost of not having Android is bankruptcy.

How does it feel to know that no iPhone ever will get Android 8?

nigguh

Just this

I don't think anyone really cares especially with the ugly emojis

Too bad pixel is ass

I really don't give a shit when we have custom roms

>Pixel and Apple
>not samsung

oh yeah this is Sup Forums that loves cheap chinese botnet up their asses

blame google for not allowing users to install updates independently from their manufacturers. 99% of chink ware never sees a single update because they don't care after they make their sale

>> upgrade most apps
>It's usually a good thing.

are u retarded? there are apps that you cannot install under gingerbread.

Thats google being lazy and not giving all the phones the update. My s8 is still on nougoat

pajeetware isn't a substitute for a mobile OS

>still running Gingerbread

That's not how Android works. When Google releases Android, that's it. It's available for everyone.
It's the companies like Samsung and carriers like Verizon that delay actually giving it to their phones until forever.

absolutely nothing

also lmao:ing at Android 7 with 15% after it has been released like 2 years ago

It's no wonder manufacturers are putting custom skins and their own stores on top of android

>ios 11
>55% adoption
>54% complaining about this shit iOS garbage release fucking yours phones

hummmmmmmmm

Why buy a 600 USD phone every 2 years that will only get security updates for 6 months when you can buy a 200 USD phone every year and replace with a new 200 USD phone after 1 year

google needs to fucking sideload the security updates so it doesn't matter if your phone is on Android 7.0 or Android 6.1

funny that Google bashes Microsoft in their Project Zero blog about bad security when 99.8% of all Android phones have oudated security patches KEK

apps bring in no money because all the popular ones are free or very cheap, they can't take cuts from internal app services
its super easy to block ads on android even pajeet with a $20 android phone knows how
piracy is an intense problem on android
they have to pay a shitload for patents, including to microsoft LMAO
only very recently due to pixel started making some money on hardware but overwhelming majority of it goes towards htc

literally ZERO DOLLARS
you android fags are beyond stupid though, they've literally made a platform EXCLUSIVELY to sell you their services so they can leech your data and turn a profit on THAT but here you guys are pretending like they make money per android device meanwhile 99.9% of android devices sold are literally at manufacturing cost because you guys are C H E A P

Because you could buy an iphone and have updates for 5 years.

Why is it no wonder?

I'm sure if they tried that it would just break a lot of features and make things worse.

>buy one phone once
>no bloatware, gets updates for like 6 years regardless of whether or not the carriers like it
OR
>buy a new phone every year
>suffer

muh file explorer

i know that you can email yourself an openvpn config file, but what about a keepass database file?

I'm seriously thinking about just going iPhone because of Google's piss poor security updates and fragmented shit

Fuschia is coming along nicely. Soon android and all of it's problems will be replaced.

Android 8 will be the last version of Android released. Google is even going to abandon the Android name. It will be Fuschia OS moving forward.

>tfw still on 5.1 because AT&T will never ever update my phone

the only thing fuschia is going to do is force google to juggle two OSs, before announcing it abandonwear because the android brand is too strong

>buying carrier-locked phone in the first place

>buy flagship phone that was released in april 2016 for like 700 USD
>it's now october 2017 and latest security patch on my phone is from april 2017 and i'm still on 7.0 Android

fuck Google and fuck this shit

They've already said Fuschia is Androids replacement. Fuschia's apps will be written in dart and be much faster. Also the whole OS has been written from the ground up to be faster than Android.

iOS11 now has a file manager, I haven't used it yet but it's there.

It's crippled and locked down. You didn't really think they would give you control of your own data did you? lol
