And I remember big thing being AMR v versions, because they weren't intercompatible and thus one ARM version software couldn't work with another AMR version phones or tablets. Now it happens way slower and updates to Android version no longer bring massive upgrades, just small things.


Anyone remembers Android Froyo or Honeycomb? They didn't last long and got software support cut prematurely. I remember times when Android versions didn't last and that had serious consequences. It's one of the factors deciding how long phone will last. I wish I could agree to that, but updates are important for software longevity. 'That Meizu barely had updates in over 3+ years ' Tho I don't expect this to last longer than 1+ year but eh, to be honest updates are a non deciding factor to me when picking a phone.Īs long as it works just fine I don't care about updates. Updates are often-ish for now, latest being on october 23 and in total it had 2-3 since I started using it. This way its takes better/more natural and detailed photos so now I use this as my default camera app, I will have to get back to you later with some pics if you want. Its usable but definitely a weak point if its important for someone, while its not dead important to me I did a bit of research and installed a Gcam version on my phone that actually works and is customized. The camera sensor itself is capable considering the price range its in but the factory camera app is what holds it back and for my taste its a bit too heavy on post process and also too saturated. 'To be honest I was a bit worried after getting used to my Meizu's Flyme but it was really easy to get used to this UI'ĭRM support well I'm not sure since I don't watch Netflix or anything that would require that from what I know but I read it in a review that it did work with the 4G version I have. Its running on Android 11 and using the latest Realme UI 2.0 which is fairly clean/closer to a stock Android and user friendly/customizable. No ads that I'm aware of or ran into, been using the phone since early september and I'm yet to see anything out of place.
