If you want a small phone, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is much more appealing. It sucks that most of the other manufacturers think small phone should automatically mean weak hardware.

Tough i am an Android user .. i think the market only needs products like Lumia / iphone ... less models, fast updates over time.. not like in the android market 1231312 phone variants with most of them not being to the latest OS.

My next phone will be an Windows Phone.

This is why the Android market is becoming a trash bin. Too many devices that are only supported for 18 months that only see 1 OS upgrade from the OEM and Carrier. Then time to buy a new phone rinse and repeat the 18 month cycle.

I've got an S4 and I'm still using the Android v4.3 it shipped with. Whereas my girlfriend's got a Nexus tablet that stays up to date. And honestly, comparing the two, I don't think I'm missing anything by not having updated my phone's OS. Phone worked fine when it shipped, the phone works fine now. I think people just exaggerate the importance updating. Especially considering updates are just as likely to break something as they are to fix something.

Who would upgrade from a TI-84 to a TI-84 Plus...

With Android, yes. Windows Phone and iOS, not so much.

Actually, I was thinking specifically about iOS when I made that comment.

I`m running now a Samsung Galaxy S3 1 GB ram(i know old but gold) on the original OS 4.1.2 you can`t install some new apps 4.3 had few issues with my phone and was also slow, now i run a rooted 5.1.1 Android and everything seems better but i must avoid any Facebook apps since they are taking way too much resources, i use Facebook from Opera browser, lot faster and i don`t have to deal with notifications that i`ve already seen on my PC, like the Facebook app does.

Samsung said that the S3 1GB has too low memory for the new Lolipop ... well it runs quite fine and has memory to spare. And since they have so many variants don`t expect too much support for some of the phones or if they get it they are at least 1 year late.

Atm i`m waiting for my Lumia 930 to arrive.
