My first android phone was absolute crap.
Sometimes it takes a generation or three for a technology to be worth it. It just means you may not want to be an early adopter.
For what is worth, smart devices are already ok - just not for all brands. Xiaomi has a smart chip in everything, including something as "dumb" as electric kettles, and it works. Or at least it doesn't break anything.
- katzgrau 5y agoIt seems that the most telling factor is what percentage of the software is new code. Successive versions of a baseline like Android can solve a lot of problems, but how much new code is there sitting on top to achieve some new use case? For new smart devices, either the manufacturer or an outside firm is tasked with writing new code to achieve some end, and that's where the problems usually are. So it seems like as long as there are developers writing new code, our tech is going to be buggy and not quite living up to those futuristic expectations.
