thanks. I don't doubt you, but it's shocking to hear that a modern LG flagship struggles to take photos and read news (I'm assuming a web browser?). That would indeed be maddening. I've been using either Nexus, Pixel, or OnePlus for many years now so I'm not familiar with The LGs, Samsungs, Motos, etc, but I was under the impression that they were all pretty stable (though underpowered when you buy a cheap model).



LG left the mobile market last year. I think it's fair to say that they were struggling to keep up with everyone else.


I use android but most of my experiences with LG phones was very buggy and just messy (the G2 was pretty good though). I only ever buy samsung or google phones now, but it makes sense that someone wouldn't want to touch android if they had a subpar experience with another manufacturer.


indeed. it's very easy to blame the whole OS/ecosystem when your experience is with one particular manufacturer. In the iphone world there aren't different makers, so it's easy for people to consider any "android" as all androids.
