Is it really necessary to launch a new update every year? After Android 12 nothing's changed much. All those changes are just minor adjustments and Google present this every year as a brand new update. They can go with the Windows' direction. Add features or changes to the existing version and release a major update after 3-4 years when necessary.

Is it just me or am I no longer excited to get android version upgrades? Every year they remove something that made android, android. First headphone jack, then SD cards, then it was IR blasters, after that it was being locked out of the "Android" folder on internal storage, then the android storage framework started blocking access to the root of the internal storage and now you can't use FTP to copy files over and instead have to use slow MTP that fails half the time. The Apple-ification of android is really bugging me. There are very little good alternatives in the NA market :(

While I get your sentiment... Android still has support for headphone jacks and SD cards. In fact, there are new devices coming out with those features present. It's just up to the manufacturer of the hardware, not Android, to decide if it is present or not.

🚨🚔 Dude...There seems to be a small title problem with Android Police videos. They often make no sense aka they are typical clickbait. Case in point: The "Android 16 situation" is NOT bigger than you think. Actually nobody was thinking about it because there is no situation to speak of. Most haven't got 15 and/or 14 yet and 16 is many months away. Years away for many. Hence, unless you are a developer or a hardcore recent Pixel user, this video is quite irrelevant.

Google recently upgraded the kernel version of the 6 series to the level of current 9 series. Maybe this has opened the opportunity to upgrade pixel 6 series to A16. And by looking at this, we just might get A17 in 2026. Being a 6A user, im delighted to hear this news. Although the updates over the years seem very incremental on the surface level, even though numerous upgrades and fixes are being done under the hood. Android 14 and 15 felt like 13.1 and 13.2.

Curved back edges are good. They don't don't look as good as more square edges, but much more comfortable. Not that it really matters, that's getting covered up by the case that 90% of people will put their phone in and 100% of people probably should put their phone in. Curved glass is absolutely terrible though, unforgiveable actually now that Samsung has stopped doing it.

I wouldn't mind if we started to skip major SW versions and just have regular updates with incremental features (like how Google does with Chrome) and maybe one big leap in every 5 or so years (like with the major Windows versions). The bulk of features already comes from the specific phone manufacturers and they step up their versions how they see it fit (like One UI 6.1 as a recent example).

I recently upgraded to 9pro from my pixel 6. I spent a few days having two phones running in parallel and to my surprise, the Pixel 6 worked as smoothly as the pixel 9 pro. What I noticed was higher speed of WiFi and slightly better camera and ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Both run on android 15, both have great displays. I really like gemini advanced but could live without it. After these few days of testing i returned my pixel 9pro (under 14 days cooling period) because the network it was on was horrible ( ID mobile UK). With Android 15 Pixel 6 still holds well and its still in its PRIME :)

My prediction is that the Pixel 6 will get stuck in the developer betas and won’t get Android 16. It’s on par with what Google has done in the past. Also, I’m tired of hearing from everyone I know how terrible their pixels are. At this point I think Google’s hardware is just pure lottery. Nobody I know has lasted more than one generation of pixels without having to hurry and move to something else because the instability of these phones made the whole experience completely unbearable. And I don’t blame them, I’ve hated all the pixels I’ve had, and I won’t give Google a second chance.

I have had the pixel 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. same on the iphone side. I have had every single iphone ever released. I also had the S20, 21, 22, and 23 (and a few Notes back in the day) before quitting Samsung devices. They can also release "16" early when it basically one or two .1 updates put together. When you just add a couple features with no meaningful UI changes, they can call it 16 and call it early and we will bite just like we always do.

This is the first time I've kept a smartphone more than 2 years. I just swapped the battery and bought a new case to make it feel a little fresher but i don't think ill be upgrading to the 9 (though the black friday deals on the 9 are quite tempting). I think ill stick with the 6 until software support runs out.

I was a huge smartphone enthousiast. Android software update was often a massive change that it felt like a new phone. It's not anymore exciting but way worse, it is boring.

Yep, I remember after getting my P6 secondhand on Android 12, the software was a buggy hell. It’s fine a long way, and I can actually say it works at least several orders of magnitude better now thanks to the software updates and bug fixes

They need to just focus on refinement, design, and social media camera quality. They social media camera quality is a big reason preventing people from switching to android.

Ive literally had zero issues with the fingerprint reader on my Pixel 6 Pro. I think this is mainly a complaint of reviewers who don't use the phone except for reviews.

I would honestly say that Android is feature complete at this point. It has all the major things someone using a smart device wants. Google should rather work on making Android compatible and optimised with the wide range of hardware is serves, while even microsoft couldn’t do it with Windows, but I believe the UNIX roots of Android and Google’s expertise in their AI stuff they can honestly focus on bringing this to android.

Finally, another curved screen enjoyer 🔥🔥 I don't understand why people hate curved glass, I've been heavily enjoying its looks and aesthetics on my S10+ and Pixel 7 Pro With more and more major companies like Samsung shifting away from curved bezels, it feels like the end times will approach us soon

If you don't brake it, any flagship from 2019 is still 100% usuable. Only cameras have evolved a bit, but still the quality is above decent. 10 years updates should be normalised.

Manufacturers should be forced to allow at least 3 os upgrades. My morotola g84 shipped with Android 13, and was only upgradeable to Android 14. To make matters much worse, Android 13 was released 15th August 2022. The G84 was released 8th September 2023. Android 14 was released 4th October 2023...

Google really pissed me off by only offering 3 years of updates for the pixel 4a -- not even security updates after that 3 year cut off. They lost me as a customer for at least a few years more.

most of them didnt last even this long, the 4a and 4a 5g were terrible phones. i had gotten one on launch day and it lasted a month before bricking itself, then the replacement one had a green flicker on the screen out of the box. i gave it to my nephew as a wifi only tablet and still owe verizon 600 dollars for it. i did love my pixel 7 pro before i broke it though :( bought that one used though. they have gotten better since the 5 and 6. the 6 was a huge leap.

I agree they should have supported the pixel 4a longer, with that being said you knew when you bought the phone it was only 3 years! I want more then anything for google to support my pixel 6 & 7pro the full 7 & 7 like the news ones are getting. Yet if they don't im not gonna NOT buy the next pixel I want cus of something i had knowledge of beforehand. That's just silly and unreasonable.

@@katinasoutherland7693 My understanding, which was wrong it seems, was it was 2 or 3 major Android version updates. That's what all the bloggers were saying was being promised. It seems hard to believe though that they would stop supporting major security updates also. A hard stop too. Windows 10 was released in 2015, and it STILL is getting updates. Major updates are one thing, but security updates??? that's a no brainer, no? Google knows users will continue to use their phones for years beyond that date also, so they know they are creating a serious security situation. Given how Google knew they were making a mistake, and changed to 7 years or whatever, they still refused to push updates to older phones. The Pixel 4a 5G was getting critical updates months after the Pixel 4a lost support -- so would it really kill Google to do them both? Just feels rather anti-user. Not sure Google has actually felt pro-user in many years at this point. /rant over
