Poll: Is it time to cut your KitKat phone loose?
There are a few problems with older smartphone OS versions. One is security: more ways to exploit software are discovered all the time, and once Google ceases to support an operating system, youre on your own.
Another problem is that smartphones running older software tend not to perform as well as those with newer software. There are exceptions, crippling bugs, etc, but at this point, Android Lollipop is running fairly steadily.
Lastly, Android Lollipop and Marshmallow have a handful of unique and interesting features, which you just don’t have access to with a phone that is stuck on KitKat. Features like Google Now on Tap, and the recent apps menu, to name just a couple.
So my question to you is this: if your phone is stuck on KitKat, and won’t be updated, do you think that now is the time to abandon it?
