I'm quite old fashioned. And I've learned by experience that updates breaks/kills hardware instead if improving it (definitely not saying it for Windows 10... at all...)

So, I've been pushing aside my phone's notifications to update from Android 9 to 10.
Yet again, I'm wondering uf you guys have moved already, and if so... us it worth it? It changes/improves/breaks things?

Please let me know before I decide whether or not update my Android phone.

Thanks in advance, you're awesome.

I personally love the new gestures, you will struggle to get used to it in the first days, but when you get used to it... it's incredible, especially for phones with big screens, because you don't need to reach your finger down the screen to go back a page everytime. For the performance aspect, not much has changed, except some animations were improved, which makes the experience feel much smoother

It's a fine update. I don't really like gestures as I find them ergonomically uncomfortable, but everything else is good. Other than the fact that they removed third party clipboard management, so you cant share your phone's clipboard with your computer through things like KDE connect.

My Moto G5+ was only updated through 8.1 and I recently installed a custom 10 rom (ArrowOS) and I love it. It does take a bit of getting used to new things, but all in all I enjoy it much more. There is a version out now for Android 11 but it's still in the early builds stages so I'll hold off for maybe 6 months before installing that one.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
