Operating system updates are common. We usually talk about these when it comes to new versions of Android. However, the truth is that operating system updates also include manufacturer's firmware updates. However, when one of these is available, it is not always ideal to update the smartphone or tablet.
Why not upgrade?
In general, updates tend to look positive, but the truth is that the ideal is not to install them. When we have a smartphone that works well, a software update can have a negative effect, and the result of the installation of the same can be the opposite, that the mobile or the tablet begins to work badly, that they no longer have the fluidity they were counting on when we bought it. In fact, it is not only a possibility, but it is quite probable that after a while an update is launched whose result is to be left with a mobile that works worse. Only something worse in the best cases, and a mobile that almost does not work in the worst case.
When to update?
However, the ideal is to update the smartphone as long as we are not going to be left with a worse mobile than the one we had before the update. How do you know this? Updating after a while. Any update that arrives with problems is usually succeeded by a later update that fixes those problems. If we do not install the first update, we will avoid having these problems on the smartphone. In addition, it is very likely that if the update comes with very relevant problems, in a matter of a very short time the blogs will publish a post talking about the update problems, so we can know that, in fact, it is better not to update to the new one. version.
However, the relevant thing is to know that from six months after the launch of the smartphone, the updates will begin to be less relevant for the smartphone. If a month after launching the mobile, an update is launched for it, and it arrives with errors, one will soon be launched to solve those errors. However, if time has passed since the launch of the mobile, the manufacturer will no longer give the smartphone so much relevance, and the updates will not arrive soon, even if a relevant problem has to be solved. So we would have to use a smartphone that works much worse.
In fact, there are expert users who say that the ideal is not to update when the mobile works perfectly. With the arrival of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, we talk about the phones that are going to update to the new version of the operating system, but the truth is that updating to get a worse mobile does not make any sense either. Of course, if your mobile already has errors, the update could solve them, so it will be advisable to update. But if not, the conclusion is simple, if your mobile works well, it is better not to update.
The g2 in kitkat was doing better than in lollipop and the elephone p7000 since the updates arrived is a potato
But what do you say !!! Let's see, companies like Samsung, HTC, Sony etc, are going to spend thousands of dollars and their engineers time testing and adapting a new version of Android to launch it so that their devices are malfunctioning ??? Hey Sony, why do you do that? Better not support your equipment!
Perfect, promoting fragmentation in case it was already little fragmented.
