I Love Android, But I Hate These 8 Things About It
1 min read
Summary
For all of Android’s improvements over the years, there are some persistent frustrations among users of the operating system, according to an opinion piece in Makeuseof.
These include:
A lack of a simple process for checking battery health, requiring users to rely on third-party apps or delve into diagnostics
Poor standby battery life, with the OS lacking the power conservation offered by iPhones
Variable feature rollouts meaning that even with the same OS and specs, different models offer a very different user experience
Lack of integration with PCs, forcing users to rely on third-party apps for a similar experience with Windows
Pre-installed bloatware that cannot be removed, hindering the user experience and taking up space
Intrusive advertising on some models, impacting the user experience and making it hard to discover useful apps in the Play Store
Slow rollouts of software updates, leaving users unsure when (or if) they will receive them and causing models to become outdated quickly
Poor resale value, with Android phones depreciating far faster than iPhones.
