in most cases, the first to suffer the criticism for not updating this or that device to a new version of Android or even delays in updates are the equipment manufacturers themselves. But in some cases, problems are external to manufacturers.
For example, with Sony with its Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact confirming that the Marshmallow would be the last Android update these models 2 years of life in the market will bear. And all because they include the Snapdragon 801.
Apparently Qualcomm will not launch the graphic drivers for the processor 800 and 801, and as such devices as the HTC M8 and others will no longer support the new Android 7.0.
apparently it has to do with the integration of Nougat Vulkan API and incompatibilities in terms of graphics performance to the 3D level with the Snapdragon 800 and 801. Basically, technically and in the last instance the fault is not possibly to anyone. This is technology.
We want whenever the devices we acquire are always supported by the maximum possible time. Given that in most cases, the devices are even media / high-end, we and demand that it be given monetary values we spend for them.
But technology sometimes goes so that equipment even still leave something recent be compatible with this own evolution. And sometimes it is better to stay with a stable and fluid and equipment free of bugs than to say that we have the latest version of the operating system and smartphone become completely unstable and slow.
Sometimes, evolution we have these things and we have to know a little curb our enthusiasm not just give priority to being “fashionable” with the latest releases and stay with equipment that then blame the manufacturers because of bugs, excessive battery consumption, instability etc. And for what?
We have reached a point where even the major upgrades of Android just bring new and are usually always thought for new equipment that will be released on presentation and these but may take in full, given the hardware and software will optimize these same devices have suffered to function at 100%.
I for example as a former owner of an iPhone 4, one of the last official updates from Apple came almost “kill” the smartphone. Logically blamed the manufacturer for it. It would have been preferred Apple has not given longer support beyond the last functional and stable version for the iPhone 4? Looking back … Yes, for me it was yes. Rather by far have stayed with the iphone to work well for what was not even being “trendy latest version of iOS.” Same situation happened with my old Note 4 at the launch of the Lollipop. For a long time the equipment was almost unusable. Even I had to go back to version 4.4.4 KitKat.
The same will happen with my current S6 Edge +. When the time comes that the hardware starts to get in the acceptable range, I prefer to stay as I am.
But realize that not all people think so and want to be always on top of the same updates with equipment 2 years. 2 years in technological terms is a long time today. But sometimes it becomes impossible even, to avoid complaints after complaints is preferable to leave some devices away from large updates.
But there is the other side of the coin, as we also know of equipment that sometimes It has the necessary hardware and simply are not updated. So this is not such a linear situation as it
