Samsung Galaxy S II, released in 2011, has an unofficial port of Android 11
- ansgri 6y agoOne of the best smartphones of all time. Somehow I found its first firmware (2.7.x?) much more usable than the 3.x to which it auto-updated. Particularly seems to be caused by lawsuits that led to removal of slide-to-unlock—like function.
- karmakaze 6y agoYeah, it was the best Samsung phone I've ever had, no crap just a great phone and screen.
- Daishiman 6y agoStill to this day one of the more elegant smartphones I've seen.
- panpanna 6y agoI think S II was the phone that made samsung THE android phone maker. Before that, it was sony and lg and htc and samsung all fighting to figure this smartphone thingy out. Anyway, didn't samsung just release security patches for S6?
- quinkInk 6y agoI am surprised that to prevent ewaste, device manufacturers are not forced to provide more updates, or open source modules. A modern mobile is very capable - but you are limited to a couple of major updates, then that's it. Eventually apps stop supporting your version of android. Then inthe bin it goes - although the camera is great and it can playback 4K video.
