Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse.
I should probably explain.
Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That is to say, I don’t hate the concept of Android — in fact, at one point, I loved it. What I hate is what Android has become. And more specifically, what Google has done with Android.
MG Sigler hits the nail on the head. His well-written articles parallels my own thoughts as to why I fell out of love with Android. The promises were made then broken, repeatedly. I still have my original Motorola Droid sitting in a drawer. It served me very well.
Android is great ouf of the box, but never expect operating system updates once you buy it. Also, expect the manufacturer to stop supporting it a week later when the newer, shinier model of the same phone comes out.
Owning an Android phone is frustrating because every week your new phone is older and slower, being replaced with newer and better models.
