[QUOTE="codezer0, post: 8499105, member: 187684"] Not sure I would go that far back for an Android. I've had some mainstream and basic Android phones that were horrendous for usability, and were missing features that would otherwise be expected to be there, in a second-hand one that would sell for the same price. Case in point: Every Moto e/g phone that I've had flat out didn't even have the hardware to support Pokemon Go as an example, and had so little storage and RAM, coupled with Google's "war on the SD card" policy of refusing to allow app installs to an SD, that you'd be lucky to get even 5 apps installed before you'd be running out of space. And in the case of said Moto E/G phones, seeing them choke and force close on the game I happen to be playing on them isn't exactly what I would call [I]a good time[/I]. That gap just seems to only get worse instead of better. More still, is this design philosophy of phone makers to make their phones intentionally disposable. I just recenlty managed to build a retro level Socket A pc since I managed to scavenge a top-end Barton cpu for it for free. Conversely, the Moto X Pure Edition phone I tried to settle with at the time for compatibility and freedom to switch carriers at will didn't even survive one year before being completely unusable, entirely thanks to the miserable battery that it came supplied with. At the same time, my international Note 3 is still good as a glorified mini-tablet thanks to being able to replace the battery and flash custom ROMs to keep it on a modern enough Android build. At this point I wouldn't even touch a Samsung newer than an S6 or Note 7 thanks to their desire to make exploding phones, and the staunch refusal to eliminate the risk at the source. [/QUOTE]
