>he's not on the latest android 7.1.2

sometimes I think how awkward those stock photos are, just seconds prior they probably had stone faced expressions and then the photographer said "okay now act like you said something HILARIOUS" and they froze in that position you see in the picture with no sound, except probably one of them letting out some air from her throat

>>59952565

Well at least we know you don't understand how professional photography works.

>>59952597
are you a professional photographer?

>>59952509
>New means better dude are u stupid!!!

I'm already on 7.1.2 and it only has battery warning for apps that hoard your battery (play store, facebook etc. which is useless) and fixes on pixel devices. nexus users were crying all over the internet too, their phones started to shut down on %40~ and it's not fixed with this update.
I guess thinkpad of smartphones is any old device with official lineage support, since every single phone company makes buggy phones

I'm only on Android 5.0

How do I udpate?

>>59952614

I have fucked a few in my time.

The photographer told a joke and because they have high quality gear and lighting can capture movement as it happens it's never static posing.

android newfag here im not trolling just asking

when i go to update it tells me that i have to latest version available, but im on android 5

so how do i update to a new version?
do i have to "root" it or some shit?

>>59953456
it's the latest available. support for your phone is over, it won't get any updates. If you're lucky you have lineage OS rom support (fork of android for unofficial updates) or not you have "unofficial" roms which is less worked on. Just search your phone and put "xda" at the end, that's the place to check about ROMs

It looks really dated but I can navigate everything easily and I don't need today's flagship specs. Only thing I'd want is a better camera but I rarely use it to justify upgrading.

i was asked to set it up, so i also installed lineageos 14.1 on it (android 7.1.1), which runs just fine

Sorry for the late reply
It's pretty stable, first few builds of 7.0 were very unstable (had to wipe my phone three times) since they were "test" not even "nightly" but it's pretty stable now and nothing bad happened for months. Some people were having problems with 7.1.1->7.1.2 update too, but my phone didn't. If you're still on stock official nightlies are on 6.0 and they're pretty stable too, even more stable than samsung's rom I'd say
