      I ran 4.1.2 on my note1 for a couple reasons...1, Sammy never updated mine past that, 2, the custom roms always had a glitch or bug. 4.1.2 was flat out stable, gave me no issues, so why bother. My device now, "stuck on" 4.3 is just as stable as 4.1.2 was, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah, 5.x will have some features that some will need/like to use, but for my day to day usage now, 4.x works good enough.

        AnonD-322156, 02 Dec 2014Lag is a android feature ,ios don't have that feature.So, basically you don't know what lag is.. Try running that iOS 8 update on that iPhone 4s, you feel how slow it is right? Yea, that's what lag is.

                Most people don't care about updates. Neither do I.

                When more and more people will start using Android 5, the 1 star ratings of apps on Google Play will increase significantly. Because a lot of games/programs are not compatible with Android 5.

                Look at for example Vice City. There are more and more 1 star reviews, because the game crash at loading. And the developer (Rockstar) doesn't care about it.

                  It's funny how people say that WP gives you faster upgrades, not even taking into consideration the fact that WP people don't even remotely have the functionality of even ICS.

                          Anonymous, 02 Dec 201410% still using ginger...Some devices like my secondary Alcatel 991 can't be upgraded to higher version than gb because of 150MB RAM. Even it has limited abilities, I made it to run very smoothly besides on the specs and kernel limitations.

                                I`ve installed android 5.0 on nexus 5 but i think it has too much bugs and its far more laggy than kitkat.

                                    Seems like another 20% will add to KitKat when people buy new mid range phones.anyway most people care for only apps which android gives you unlike wp.
