Anonymous, 06 Jun 2023Lol, and what will you do with Android 13 on a Galaxy S3? I... moreThis.
Look people, sure custom roms can be fun, but hardware has a limit.
My S3 Mini got roms up to pie, but everything after Nougat ran laggy as hell. I dont think an S3 should be running something higher than Oreo tbh.
The bare minimum right now should be something the likes of SD835, unless you want to have fun with overheating and a poor experience

Usability is poor. Security... zero. I'd ten thousand times rather use every 5 years new iPhone with maximum security, than old S5 with no updates.

Well like it really matters.
With just 2 or 3GB of ram no of those phones were able to run all apps.
Maybe most basic like apps for communication like facebook, tik tok, whatsapp brownser but thats it.
Forget about complex games and forget about many else.
4K video editing forget it. Not even Apple 14 can do that properly.
For them it would be better if they allow android to be inside apple phone instead of a closed beta of android called IOS which is nothing but full of restrictions and other fuss and mess.
But thats only my honest opinion.

Ha just kidding, I get and agree with the point you are making.
I do drive a Dacia though, I like tech gizmo's and such, and am quite willing to splurge on them. But when it comes to cars, I'm notoriously cheap 🤷♂️

Anonymous, 06 Jun 2023No, those phones can't be used today. Not as smartphon... moreu need to define what smartphone is
because usage for like browsing including facebook/whatsapp/instagram, watching youtube/vids
those old phone can still be use just fine, its not to the point where its unusable, to really slow to load, crashing etc.

The regular version requires Android 6.0 Marshmallow and up, eventhough older version of Android probably can still use the app. For WhatsApp, they've just increase the minimum system requirements to Android 5.0 Lollipop

Apple does it because older phones are still made.
This helps apple to get back part of money invested in software.

Not as smartphon... moreNot only performance, but the screen (depending on how much you spend) can be better, the battery life, charging speed, cameras, features, gadgets/cases are easier to find, additional features of the chip such as better signal, faster downloads, better bluetooth etc

hmm, 06 Jun 2023Why is this a news when iphone X is already 6 years old ?
... moreNobody expected more. Is just the Android boys who come here to make fun.
Apple is always providing 5-6 years of software updates. Sometimes can be 7 (like in the case of iPhone 6s and iPhone SE1), but normally is 5-6 years.

SD7... moreYes, the newer upper-midrange chips are catching up, but I was comparing the chips released in the same year/period. Apple has always had the more powerful cpu compared to what qualcomm/samsung/mediatek were offering at the time

-When Apple s... moreNo, those phones can't be used today. Not as smartphones anyway. Stop talking nonsense.
And besides, who uses phones more than 6 years old? I mean really?
A basic Android phone (new model I mean) is 150-200EUR. I doubt that people will use a Galaxy S3 or S4 or even something like Galaxy S7, instead of buying some Galaxy A series phone from 2022-2023, which are miles better (performance wise) than super old S series.

Digdigfig, 06 Jun 2023Apple's chips have more powerful CPUs compared to snap... moreI don't think you read some of the other comments. SD778 is more powerful than A11. There's almost 4-year gap between them which means in four years mid range Qualcomm SoCs surpass flagship Apple SoC and that gap is obviously becoming shorter. So as far as CPU performance is concerned, it is better to get a new mid range Android phone than to struggle with a 4yo Apple flagship.

By that point just get a new phone. Spending 100$ on a budget phone would get you a better experience in almost every way
