Google has developed a habit of creating more bloated, buggier, heavier, and more hardware and battery intensive OS' as time goes on. Lollipop, and especially Marshmallow, are considered by most to be the worst android systems ever, and Marshmallow has the distinction of being the least used system ever, closely followed by Lollipop. They're on a miniscule portion of android devices.
Since Nougat is based on Marshmallow, with even more features most will never use, can we really expect it to be any less buggy, lighter on resources, or more stabile than 6? And how's it going to work with a play store full of apps not designed for it yet?
How many of you guys are willing to upgrade your current phone without a second thought to Nougat? And how many are going to sit back like we did with Marshmallow and wait to see how it goes over, then pass on it because we decide its not worth the hassle?
I've put a lot of time and effort into setting my phone up and getting it to work decent for me on Marshmallow (my phone came with it). The ONLY thing that interests me in Nougat is the enhanced doze feature that's supposed to help save battery when you're on the go, not just when the phone is sitting still. But I only use an average of 15% of my battery a day (I LOVE doze on Marshmallow
), so battery life is not an issue for me. And I see that Nougat doze on the go feature creating problems with phone and app functions when you're moving.
So personally I think I'm going to sit this one out, I have no interest in a factory reset to try out something that is basically what I already have, except greener and most likely more problematic at first (or the whole time lol). I don't like problematic.
I hope Nougats a step in a different, better direction for android, but with what its built on and Google's treatment of it so far, it sure looks like another heavy step in the wrong direction
We have to take a lot of the blame here tho, because we can't complain about heavy, buggy, battery and processor draining OS' when we're constantly demanding more, more, more features we'll never use. You can't build a solid, stable, polished, economical, sweet running OS when the public wants you to change it big every year
I want something that works great and then leave it the hell alone. Change is good when it's fine tuning an already good thing. Change isn't good when it's done just for the sake of it, and rushed out to keep the customers happy and the market share up
I see why so many people I know use iphones, I thought it was a status thing, but after playing with some, I realized it's because they just plain WORK.
Please Google start giving us operating systems that just plain work.
