What a fucking egomaniac faggot
>>62310287
That's not Fuchsia OS.
why though?
>>62310262
the smartphone adolescence is over. Just take any machine that will keep you communicated and move on. Stop worrying about the OS in them. Don't update.

>Don't worry about the OS in them
Yeah, unless you're concerned about privacy, at which point, stay away from google OS's at all costs.
>>62310451
you could always use android without any google apps or services
>>62310299
fuck off
>>62310464
At which point, one should just use a dumbphone.
>>62310262
i got my gs8+ in june and this shit lags when you try to search for an app locally....... fuck android...
>>62310474
why?
you can find alternatives for everything google offers.
>>62310474
you're the only dumbphone here

Oreo - Lineage will be amazing.

Android GO is another bonus of Oreo.
It's a subset of Android Oreo that can run on only 256/512 Ram.
The idea is to bring back low energy phones that last for a week or more on a single battery charge but still have the freedom of FOSS to flash TWRP/Magisk/LineageOS
I'd personally like a Android GO qwerty phone or a watch with a sim card.
reble is a agreement with OEMs to provide microcode that agrees upon a standard protocol to support Android instead of Android trying to support non standard protocols.
tldr: google got tired of oems not providing open drivers and breaking the gpl

Yeah his ego is so fucking big right? Like he fucking named himself after a THEATRE HOLY SHIT.
The theatre is named for him after he died you absolute retard
>>62310640
Which of those features improve the user experience tangibly?
>>62311008
which ones don't?
You have to wait 8 months minimum after a new version comes out to even consider it usable on a daily basis.
And for what, really? At this point they could release just security updates and it'd be almost the same. Who cares about new versions anymore when they decide that a major version should be exactly the same with a small addition? I seriously struggled to see the difference between 6 and 7.
>>62310640
didn't they also implement a password manager API so you could have your passwords from Keepass or Lastpass autofill with just a finger scan?
>>62310262
botnet garbage... trusting an ad agency (google) with your fucking data.
>>62310952
i wish my ego was big enough to warrant renaming something.
>>62310262
But being able to update is so cool, /g/ told me. It's a reason I have an iPhone, that and sodomy.
