I've had my Google Nexus S for about a year and a half and I'm sick of it's ****. I'm looking into an upgrade, and I can't decide if I want to keep with an Android or switch to an iPhone. With that in mind, I thought I would see what people are saying about their Android phones right now.
For me, the issue seems to be that the Android OS doesn't seem to upgrade itself very well on my current hardware. I've had to factory revert just to make it usable again, after the last time I updated. Even after doing so, the apps themselves seem to be poorly designed in general. It seems like they get updated without any regard for older hardware, and something like Facebook alone can lag my phone to the point where I can barely answer a call properly. I'm wondering if this is an inherent problem with the Android platform that will cause any newer phone (eg. the Galaxy S4 or HTC One) to give the same kinds of issues a year or two down the road. Ideally I want a phone to last me a minimum of 3 years.
So, how are your Androids holding up? Especially those of you who bought "top of the line" or "flagship" phones over a year ago.
