Which $400 android phones (with warranty and service and guaranteed updates for 4-5 years) come with an OLED these days?
- bgorman 7y agoThe Pixel 3a has an OLED display, and probably the best update guarantees you can get on Android. Why are you expecting Android phones to come with a 4-5 year warranty? The iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty
- scarface74 7y agoHe said “guaranteed updates” not warranties.
- kalleboo 7y agoDidn't the Pixel 1 only get updates for 3 years?
- morsch 7y agoAnd that's pretty much as good as it gets. With the notable exception of community maintainance, eg. Lineage OS.
- hocuspocus 7y agoIn practice nobody cares about the Android version or upgrades. People just want to install the latest apps, which you can do for a very long time even on an outdated entry-level Android phone.
- kube-system 7y agoDepends on the app and how outdated we're talking about. You can buy new Android devices on the shelf from major retailers that won't run some mainstream apps.
- kohtatsu 7y agoFWIW the iPhone 5s (Fall 2013) is still receiving patches on iOS 12, last one was March 24th (iOS 12.4.6).
- vinay427 7y agoThe updates just seem to matter less on Android, at least these days, with the exception of security issues. On iOS it feels like updates "unlock" new functionality, whereas on Android they've seemed to add random fluff or change up the UI in non-consequential ways. Apps are already much more flexible on Android, and the Play services largely get updated anyways, so it's just less of a concern for me to not have OS feature updates.
