Shadow Snypa786, 20 Jan 2017There are alot of S7 edges that are already on Nougat and y... more1. Nobody likes iPhone, especially it's OS. Android is an open world, but only Sony can bring the best version of it, Google following in 2nd.

2. They add more features and make the phone perform slower. At least they could've added more useful ones than gimmicky ones. Samsung's implementation of features sometimes doesn't go well. Look at the S4's Air View, where is that feature now on Google's stock, or even from the S7 and S7 Edge?

3. The only point of updating is to get the features from Nougat and Sony made a huge change with the X series on Marshmallow. I don't need a feature that won't work well with the phone

    Shadow Snypa786, 20 Jan 2017HAHAHAHAHAHA to all the people who say Samsung only have bu... moreAfter I get used to use Marshmallow TouchWiz, Samsung comes up with another very complex one, and I need to adjust again. How inconsistent. No matter how many changes Samsung brings, they will always be behind Sony's UI, very light, stable, fast, smooth, bug-free, and speed consistent for years, something Samsung users are still wishing today. Even the Z5 series's UI is better than the S7 and S7 Edge's DisGrace UX lol

      alexv, 20 Jan 2017it's the third major brand, after samsung and htc where nou... moreIt's the same Nougat update as from the XZ, X Performance, and X Compact. If the Z5 series and Z3+ Nougat updates have issues, then the issues should've existed with the first two 2016 flagships from Sony already (XZ and X Performance). I don't think there's really an issue here, maybe Sony just did the same to make Samsung feel less nervous with Nougat update haha

        Anonymous, 20 Jan 2017And they say One plus updates are not perfec. Hmmm.. Aside from the XZ, X Performance, and X Compact update, name another Nougat update that brought no bugs to the phone. I highly doubt you can lol

          Anonymous, 20 Jan 2017Sony is awful with updates.. Just look at Xperia XA.. Augu... moreAnd look at the A 2016 series. Released with Android Lollipop, disgusting! Lol

                  AnonD-93439, 20 Jan 2017I'm a Sony fan and user, but i bought G5 because of camera ... moreI could say the same for my g2 except that the camera was always terrible. It got better with time but it was never good...
                  Lg has decent hardware but very little optimization...
                  My g2 is now on his last leg so I am considering going back to sony, just as an example, my Z2 Tablet is from the same time as the g2 and it is as new and updates were always good, fast and plenty.
                  I am considering a sony X for my next phone or maybe S8...

                    Anonymous, 20 Jan 2017Hahaha, my LG G5 just updated to nougat last january 11 her... moreYeah, LG finally cought up to Sony, X series alright.

                      This is the reason on why should rubbish 'update' be disposed of properly!

                        I'm a Sony fan and user, but i bought G5 because of camera features and picture quality and the modular design ( let's face it LG is the best in mobile photography, period) but i have problems with G5 i didn't even know can occur when i had Xperia, the main problem for me on G5 is the ghosting display! and the new problem I'm facing is the battery drain in Nougat, but since it's a software issue i hope they fix it soon

                              What in the world is going on with Nougat? Every OEM had problems with it. Even Google (Nexus 6...) had problems! Can they just use 7.1.1 instead of 7.0 (exception of Google and the Nexus 6, who had problems with 7.1.1)? Unbelievable! With Marshmallow, most OEM had 6.0.1 instead of 6.0. This is pathetic. I'm starting to think we sould've called Android N Noget instead of Nougat.
