And now people need to pay for useless 8/12/16/18/20GB just becausemsome geeks need to leave 200 apps open while play silly games.

No wonder why phones are too expensive.

          I remember playing "injustice: Gods among us" those days
          Sad that my tablet died like the game and Android 4.4.2

            It feels like a few days since I got it on my S4 :D. It certainly was one of the last good updates, since then there were pretty much no more major inventions in the mobile world (foldables are the only example but even those aren't very popular) - and we're kind of stuck in a loop.
