Google says it's less then 1% to give themselves a reason to shutdown millions of devices alot of them that costed £500 10 years ago. I can still use windows 98 on pc if I want too. But not android, this is fraud. And I don't believe the 1% story.

1: it's to use it for basic things that don't require the phone to work hard for like for music.
2: you don't got the budget for one
3: you don't mind your phone taking 5 years for an app to open up
4: you don't play games on it
5: you don't have anything personal in it so for it to get a virus and maybe hacked is not your concern

Anunu, 25 Jul 2023such an ignorant thing to say smhNot really. Most androids at that os already aren't supported through updates and security, u still on LCD most likely, u are using an ancient BW camera, the charging cable type is B, the phone is slow takes years to open up an app cuz of the ship cpu it has. Any phone below Snapdragon 845 and newer Chips without the G are extremely slow and buggy and freezes along. I've had some with 821 and 400s and they are BUGGY. So no not IGNORANT it's FACTS. :)

Plus to me 6 inches is enough. I've had phones with screens of 6.8inch and yea NO THANKS. It's a literal mini tablet.

Darth Caesium, 26 Jul 2023Oh no! Anyway.
Nobody is still using Android KitKat.I would've been using Kitkat if my Redmi 2 Prime hadn't collapsed hardware wise.
And I can confirm after using both, that if you don't trust Google, Android 10 is worse than Kitkat in terms of data privacy.
Now, I'm seeing youtube recommendations on my actvity in whatsapp, its so bad now.

Anonymous, 26 Jul 2023Because it hits too close to home, right? You hate it when ... moreWrong.
I personaly and honestly dont care if people have different opinions.
Sometimes i dont agree like when people dont agree with mine.
But at least i live and let live and for honor, order and balance in my life i really dont care because jusr like me or like anyone else we cant change much about the phones.
Its companies and the founders or leaders of said companies how they make their bussiness.
We are just as always only a test subjects.

BrianCoriour, 25 Jul 2023No one uses anything below android 7Man you would be surprised how many of our customers using something even lower.
I remember a lady from this week which looked for a case for Samsung S3 mini also a screen protector.
Same thing with Apple its unlike to seen but sometimes people come and ask for cases for Iphone 4 or 3.
Xiaomi Mi 3 or 4A and 4X are also popular for some people.
Just like Lenovo 7000 or 7010 and P1M

I still remember my Xperia Ray that I have upgraded until Kitkat via Custom ROM and my main problem with it was that the Google Play Services taking too much space and I couldn't install new social media apps that I wanted.
