Solved! Does higher android version make your phone faster ?

[kalimana]

Hello guys. Today I just want to ask smth maybe stupid.. I am gonna be buying myself a new phone soon, that has an android 7.1 nougat version. But some of mine friends tell me to go for smth with a higher android version (8.0). So does the android version matter that much when its only like 1 version away ? Thank you for your time .

doesn't make it faster, but have new feature, fixes, support.

we can't say that as it tends to ad some new features and makes the device runs more smoother with some fixes and support.

Generally speaking, only more powerful hardware can make a phone perform faster.

What @phillipcorcoran0405 said. If anything, you can probably expect the same phone running a newer version of the OS to run slower: more features = more resources required at any given time; same hardware = only the same resources are available; more resources needed on same available resources = more resources used or not enough resources available = runs less smoothly.

Phone speed is dependent on your hardware, whereas updated versions makes your software silky smooth and bug free (mostly)
