Thank God first to comment

TechCapon:
KaiOS? I know of Fuchsia and even at that no one knows if it will work out but I've not heard of KaiOS?

TechCapon:
I use LG so I can attest that the updates are not making any difference. I don't know of others.

Ennyhorlar:
True!

I used over 1.4gb to update my phone last week and I was expecting some new features after the update.

Walahi.. nothing changed! The only thing that changed was my DATA balance.

I've another update hanging already and olorun mo wipe mi o update any shii

ornicus:


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.

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.

Exactly my thoughts on these updates..I'm like, should I really care??
Except the Lord keeps the city, the watchmen, they watch in vain.

No matter the security updates released, the bad ones will still find some loopholes through it, the safest is to pray not to be remembered.

This is life, if you like build your fence as high as a story building, when criminals remember you, you'll marvel at human ingenuity and survivalist tendencies.

Why waste data on updates, when I can use it to follow up on a nice Hollywood series at my spare time

kaiOs makes feature phones work like Smartphones on just 512mb. If they can release a version for touchscreen and phase out Go versions of Android, it will be awesome. Google invested over $2.2bn in KiaOs to get it functional in India. As usual, Nigeria with it's population can't even benefit because it's like we hate new systems

cuvox:


LG is good but nowadays I fancy companies willing to test innovation. So far so good, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo are leading. Xiaomi most especially releases something new with major updates.

TechCapon:
yeah those Chinese guys like taking risks. Samsung is even afraid of taking the kind of risks those Chinese companies take in the name of innovation..

I bought Tecno Pouvoir 2 LA7 this August. It seems to me as if the update has been hanging since January.

Suddenly, updates request started popping up......
The first one had January on it.... I updated since I wanted a new feature which I got (the battery icon changed)
The following day that of February came
The next day...March, April, May, June, July each costing about 150MB
I wouldn't mind the data if the update hadn't been useless...

Now that of August has arrived for the past 2 days, but as far as me, I and myself is concerned, I am not updating shit...

This is just Tecno teaming up with Airtel to suck life out of my MB.

Pop up camera, sliding pop up, under display fingerprint, dual notch, under display camera, foldable devices. Uncle Sammy just sits back and watch them do it. If it successful, he copies and charge an arm and leg.

Maybe na cause I dey write tech too na why I dey see these things. Lemme spy your website small. Might Learn a thing or two.

Oga, is it not too early in the morning to start trying to deceive people? And it was still you that made the comment in the screenshot just 2 months ago

At least you saw a change in your Data....it grew lean and malnourished

The 'pie' in the upgrade must have been bitter

AgreatMan:


MKT is the processing chip and any company can choose whichever one they prefer but of course Qualcomm is the best and they supply both the snapdragons and Apple's chips disguised as A13 Bionic of whatever nonsense name they choose to call it

Ennyhorlar:


I should swear in the name of Satan?

texazzpete:


The dark mode example the OP gives is misleading, since a dark mode theme on older phones is nothing compared to a complete system wide dark mode, complete with battery saving schemes and useful templates for app developers to follow.

TechCapon:
system wide dark mode has been in existence for a long time now especially in LG phones.

texazzpete:


Barely anyone uses LG phones outside South Korea

TGM2015:
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.

Psoul:



Forget about any security nonsense they will preach. Most of these updated tend to make the users more vulnerable than they were. They use the updates to collect every information u have in ur phone for their business gain. On daily basis, u keep getting new advert and unsolicited messages on ur phone. That is the outcome of the updates.

LG Mobile hasn’t made a profit since 2014. And LG smartphone unit sales dropped 21% year on year between Q2 2019 and Q2 2018.
