        Well they have nothing to slow down in the first place....

          Some Android phones will follow this trend.

                  this might be the only trend that some OEM's not going to follow Apple. LMFAO...

                    Sometimes it isn't good to update your software or apps. It gets bloated or worse.

A 4800mAh battery that cannot even last 3 hours when watching YouTube, and it take almost a day to charge it to full. A big tablet with mediocre specifications, SAMSUNG did pretty crap last time, no offense, but at least they done a better job now

                                  Not just HTC and Motorola.
                                  Asus, LG, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, ZTE, Lenovo, and almost every Android smartphone but Samsung are very very fast from the very first day of their duty to their last breath.

                                  As for Samsung, it is the Apple of Android world. We know why they slow down within less than a year.

                                    Sony products are built to last. Enough said.
