One of the basic rules that keeps the technology is that, if it works, do not touch: the updates are well , but many users do not seem percatar it and prefer to stay with a version of Android not upgraded, even though the system update is ready to be installed.
However, there are many more reasons than you think to update your device: keep up with the latest features and libraries, keeping us safe from known bugs and fixes, improving performance, and thus the use we give the device … these are the reasons why we should upgrade to the latest version of Android available whenever you can .
Security
Updates solved on the fly a problem that unfolds every day: security holes , those that allow an attacker to take control of our Android or containing valuable information about us. The solution is not an antivirus, but follow common sense and try to have the latest version of Android available.
Indeed, nothing has discovered a security flaw that allows an attacker to use the browser to read the content of any other tab open, revealing a disastrous for privacy bug that affects 75% of users. And indeed, the only version that is not affected by this is Android 4.4, if only for the fact of using Chrome as a web browser and not the AOSP.
Performance
latest versions of Android changes always come with pieces like the kernel allow us to better exploit the hardware we have (making KitKat work with only 512MB of RAM, for example), or even they open the possibility of using new hardware . have as good examples arrival Butter Jelly Bean Project, Project Svelte in KitKat, Ara Project and 64-bit processors
This performance improvement is usually translated as Android better use resources : improves overall performance and uses less battery from the device as a result. Although the battery we will talk with the next section.
Battery
This performance optimization we were talking about before means less battery drain usually, but also updates try to improve that aspect separately : with KitKat and Project Svelte we could see the first steps in that direction, but He has been with Project Volta Android L when we could see a real improvement in that aspect, as well as details such as how to save energy it takes time in Android by third parties.
Compatibility with Application
It’s about the libraries that developers use to create their applications whether they support a particular version of Android or not: often bookstores that do not have support for older versions used Android . A developer does not compensate you to tailor your application to an “outdated” version of Android, so we can stay without support for many applications if you use an old version of Android on our device.
Design
With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Holo we arrived, and Android has arrived L Material Design. Besides that, thanks to Material Design, we can get a complete unification between platforms, always good to have the latest design that vmejora many ways that previously could fail or directly missing in the user experience.
Google Play Services and APIs
With Google Play Services, Google has decided to put a full stop on fragmentation: try to resolve this issue by updating Google services, not system . However, that is not enough to carry around without Android updates , we can not take full advantage of new features such as Google only updated Fit Play Services
A manufacturers. Put you the batteries
Yes, all this on paper is great and we love it, but the reality is that many manufacturers quickly drop support in the form of updates, leaving their current users abandoned and even in danger of threats and known. There are very few manufacturers that are saved from this (Nexus, Motorola … no trully the hint), and an area where we need to improve or yes to Android progress towards a common block . And if not, you can always do it yourself thanks to custom ROMs.
So you know: if you have the opportunity to upgrade your Android device to a higher version, not wait a second more to enjoy all the benefits it can bring you. While we hope that you all upgrades you consider something more important, and are at eye day in that sense: P
