Like, the iPhone? Or maybe a Lumia 800? They both fit comfortably in all mens' pockets (and most women's, assuming they have pockets).
The problem is Android is such a power hungry OS that you need to be constantly updating the specs as hardware and app demands grow higher, and high-end specs require space to fit everything in (including ever-growing battery demands), so small Android handsets have to make compromises on specs. It feels sort of like PCs did 10 years ago - 3 years of use and your top-of-the-line PC was near unusable. I find Windows Phone and iOS don't suffer from this nearly as much.
- ps258 14y agoIt isn't android. It's the manufacturer skins. AOSP Jellybean runs really smooth on my low end phone. (512 MB ram, 600 MHz processor) But HTC Sense 4 runs like crap.
- batiudrami 14y agoIt's a bit of both. The original Galaxy S (which was only a year and a half old at the time, and was a top-of-the-line phone) struggled really hard with stock android ICS for me.
