    Android version usage ratings

    There's the loss of fun features like lock screen effects. I like the look of Samsung UI pre One UI. The bigger issue since Lollipop Samsung killing off album art on the S6 and Note 5 while older Samsung devices updated to Lollipop Samsung kept that feature although if you update any 2014...

    Samsung Galaxy GT i5510M

    The S4's plastic was prone to smudging since it was basically hyperglazed plastic. The S5 in my eyes was perfect since the back was easy to grip compared to the S4. Of course tech bloggers took issue with it and the software and cried wolf about it so Samsung took that criticism to heart and...

    Older model Android phone to root

    Correct in the USA. Unless you buy a Hong Kong model. Then you can root that since it's Snapdragon and has a unlocked bootloader. Samsung phones in the USA have had locked bootloaders since the S7.

    Happy 9th Birthday!

    I bought it as a collectors item due to one that only really works on my carrier being Verizon is basically a cloneware model. And I wanted to experience Kitkat as I already have some familiarity with Lollipop on the S4 being basically the same as the S5 and having used 6.0.1 from September...

    I hate getting a new phone

    I love Touchwhiz. Especially the S5, Note 4, S6 and Note 5's Touchwiz versions they originally ran on. The US carriers gave Touchwhiz a bad name. I'm still using Touchwiz to this very day.

    I have revived my Galaxy Nexus!

    Samsung in Early 2023 killed off the weather widget/ app on devices running Kitkat and Lollipop. Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo still work for their Accuweather app/ widget.

    Around Nougat or Oreo is when innovation started to stall.
