I've been a two-year Droid Incredible 2 user, and for the past year, I've been so tired of it just lagging constantly, and not even getting Ice Cream Sandwich, so I was obsessed with iPhone 5, wanted it but it wasn't in stores anywhere, and then this insane phone came out and completely outdid my two most important features for the iPhone (PPI and camera).
I love the Android experience but it's annoying when (in at least my case) you compromise the widgets/customization with lag/slowing down/having to lock/unlock the phone constantly throughout the day to stop it from freezing (I'm guessing my phone might just be messed up, though it's the second Dinc2 I've had in the past 2 years, only about a year old!) and I can't STAND every other phone getting updated EXCEPT for mine, so I was liking the iPhone, but this thing just looks too good to pass up.
So I'm curious, my main issues with my current phone are the messaging app taking a while to load when I just want to text someone, and not being able to store more than like 200 messages (I like how the iPhone saves EVERY message, but if I hold more than 200, the messaging just freezes so much) so will the new RAM/processors take care of that?
I like all of the bells and whistles of Android but when it starts to compromise RELIABILITY and just straight up like "alright, I want to text someone" or look at a picture, or Facebook...and am faced with lag/freezing, it makes me want to go to something that seems like it always works, an iPhone.
So I guess I'm asking what are some experiences with this phone so far, plus other newer Android phones, are phones still laggy and unreliable, or is it simply because my Dinc2 is pretty outdated? Also, will the DNA be like my phone and just NEVER get updated (came with Froyo, updated to ICS and that's it) and I'll be sitting there with every other new phone getting updated but not mine?
Thanks much! Also, if someone could take a screenshot of like, their texting screen, IN a conversation, that'd be great - because I was all for the S3 until I saw their ATROCIOUS texting bubble styles, and texting is my main use (along with Instagram/Facebook lol) so it HAS to look streamline and attractive. Thanks!
Also - I'm curious how the Dinc2 camera goes up against the DNA's camera...both being 8MP!
