Everytime I see a new phone release I see people debating about wether the phone will get the next major version of Android. To me, most of the time OS updates are a waste of time. I generally find you get better performance with the OS that the phone was designed to operate with... Yes yes yes the manufacturer will yell you your shiny new os update is ready for you, but most of the time it results in varying degrees of decreased performance. For example my wife's Galaxy note 5 got the Marshmallow update and it runs quite well to be honest but overall it was faster with lollipop. However, I am aware that some people do truly get faster performance from OS updates but this has not been my experience. As a long time PC enthusiast I know all about degraded performance from installing the latest Windows OS without upgrading hardware. I know but PCs aren't exactly the same as smartphones but the same principle probably applies... More functionality in the OS puts greater strain on the hardware...unless they somehow optimise the hell out of it....I know Carrier and model name can make a huge difference as well..
Well I'm looking at the LG V20 as a possible next phone for myself...it has Android Nougat ready, but unlike some I'm not bothered or even thinking about Android Oreo.
