So I currently have an iPhone. I'd like to check out android phones again. I was really after the galaxy S3. However that's way to big. My next option was Droid Razr Max. I really do like that phone. However checking it out. Android OS gingerbread 2.3.5...what is up with that?!?! When I left android I had a Droid X that barely got gingerbread. What is the deal with these companies being behind the times? It cannot be that hard. I think android needs to be pressuring phone companies.

If you want a phone that keeps you on a recent version of Android, then you have to go for an unlocked and carrier-free Nexus handset. It's the only way you will always get an update and quickly.

Yeah you'll find in most cases that unless it's a flagship phone you're unlikely to see any major improvements. Unfortunately companies would much rather make more money off new customers with new phones than support and update existing devices. Sucks really, but unfortunately that's the bad side of Android and always will be. There are many good sides to Android don't get me wrong ;).

Nothing stopping you from making a visit to XDA though ;)

    • 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the 2TB WD_Black SN7100 internal solid-state drive at its lowest price in over three months, so you may want to check it out, if you have been considering a storage upgrade, before the deal dries up (purchase link is toward the end of the article). Featuring a PCIe Gen 4.0 interface and M.2 2280 form factor, the SN7100 promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and sequential write speeds reaching 6,900MB/s, offering as much as a 35% improvement in performance compared with the previous generation. It also achieves random read speeds of 1,000,000 IOPS and random write speeds of 1,400,000 IOPS. The drive uses Western Digital’s TLC 3D NAND technology for reliable performance and is further supported by a five-year limited warranty. It also offers strong endurance, rated at up to 1,200TBW, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and high-speed recording. Moreover, its DRAM-less architecture claims to improve power efficiency (the SSD relies on system memory for caching via HMB), while the WD_Black Dashboard software enables users to monitor drive health, install firmware updates, and activate Game Mode for potentially better performance. Finally, it operates within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, and can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD: $242.96 (Amazon US) Check this deal out if you want a 4TB option.

      Hopefully this will fix the issue of no sound I have since last months stupid, and non-removable, Microsoft Corporation AudioProcessingObject Driver Update (1.0.3.56670)
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      It IS confusing! What channel are you in on each device? I'm guessing your 16GB device is on Experimental (formerly known as Dev) and your 128GB is on Beta.
