Absolute state of android
I'm surprised more people aren't on 8.0
yeah can't wait to get oreo on my s8 in 4 months or so
only been out since august 2017. it's a joke
i remember waking up to ios updates the same day as the US
>2009
>android fags say fragmentation isn't a thing
TOP KEK
literally who says that lmao
i use ics and i don't give a shit.
Why would you want anything but nougat?
Unless most people buy the latest phones, they never will be.
they were saying there was no fragmentation or it didn't matter anyway
even though by 4.0 it was a train wreck
Do you think Treble with fix this once and for all?
Feeling more and more happy about my pixel purchase feels good being a 1%er
It's the phone manufacturers. Almost everyone with a phone capable of Oreo that has been promised an upgrade is still waiting for the rollout. It's even worse if you're on a carrier variant because then you're not just waiting for the OEM to push their modifications, but then you have to wait for the carrier to approve those mods then add their own and QA that before pushing it out.
I'm using a moto G5 plus, and I'm still on fucking 7.0 because of a few little bugs with 8.1 that I don't like in custom ROMs like not being able to control ISO and shutter speed on the camera, and after a few hours most ROMs can't even connect to the camera, so I can't even use the flashlight without a reboot, so I'm on my own custom version of stock where I've ripped out all of the moto bloat while I wait for moto to roll out Oreo sometime next month.
tl;dr if you're not on a Samsung, LG, or HTC flagship you don't have the option of *official* 8.x yet.
>that reddit spacing
just why
>this newfaggotry
just why
Convince me to install 8.0
>iPhone 5s released 2013
>iOS 11.3 beta 3
Sucks to suck eh Angroids?
Point to a 2013 phone running Android 8.1 officially. I dare you. Lmao
>supporting few devices is the same as a thousand of them
>implying the OEM has to updates thousands of phones
>implying the OS base code changes so much it's so hard to do
>what are drivers
>making excuses for fragmentation when it could have been avoided
I'm on 8.1 with my 3 year old phone, not my problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that is exactly why android is shit
Most of Sup Forums still uses windows 7
I don't think this offends people the way you think it does
Wrong, most of Sup Forums uses Windows 10 for DirectX 12 and muh gaymez, visit any desktop or speccy thread
>Planned obsolescence is good if it's masked as a support
Then the shit won. Deal with it.
>visit any desktop or speccy thread
You mean subhumans asking for doxing?
>4.4+ are all backwards compatible
>Oh no look at how segmented Android is!
Who gives a fuck?
You lie ! most Sup Forumsentoomen use based Gentoo
>can literally run all the latest apps and firmware
>planned obsolescence
>iphone becames slow
>at least my shit app and os updated
Nothing wrong with my 5s, must be an angroid issue.
I mean it did take them until 4.1 to understand what 60fps looked like.
one of those 4.1.x is me. i dont usually buy new things before the old thing breaks.
Lineage 15 when?
Almost every wirh custom rom, now fuck off.
It's an open ecosystem, not your Apple Gleichschaltung OS.
This enables and entails people choosing to use older versions and variants.
You can make most apps as far back as the API that first supported doing whatever you wanted to do, though. For almost everything, not having newer versions of Android isn't a problem.
>need official shit
>lineage is waiting for 8.1 cause x.0 are shit.
