Why Do Android Phone Manufacturers Need to Update Their Phones?

I asked him to go the 'Settings' application on the android phone and enable 'Tethering'. As you guys would be knowing, tethering capabilities have been enabled in Android 2.2 (Froyo). While some websites prescribed me to root the phone (which my friend was dead against. Obviously, since that nullifies your warranty!!!), one other website prescribed me to download a simple application to enable wireless tethering on an Android 2.1 (Eclair) phone.

If the phone is updated to a better version which provides more features they will easily spot it and use it. If the phone isn't updated, they just accept the fact their smartphone is in reality, not that smart!!! A case-in-point is my roommate's phone. He purchased his android phone one-and-a-half years back and it still hasn't been updated from 'Eclair' to 'Froyo'. I had a 'Nokia E71' previously (I have an Android now!!!) and even 2 years after purchasing that phone, I used to receive updates (Long live Nokia!!). There are plenty of people, even today, who will swear by a Nokia phone even though other manufacturers have surpassed it in terms of features integrated in their smartphones. When customers become loyal to a brand due to the immense satisfaction they have had from using it, in the future, if they want to purchase a phone, they will consider the same brand from where they had purchased earlier.

Otherwise, it is a known fact that smart people will buy only those flagship phones from the android phone manufacturers, that they believe would be updated in the future.

There are dozens upon dozens of different Android smartphones on the market. So before you go out and purchase your next Android phone, keep these tips in mind so that you can find the phone that's right for you!

1. How new of a phone do you need?

There are different versions of the Android operating system available for phones. The most recent version is Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" which runs on the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Most of the other premium phones run Android 2.3 and cheaper devices run even earlier versions. If you only need the basics and plan on running normal applications, then you don't need the most up-to-date version. However, if you plan on using large and intensive apps, then look for a device that has one of the most recent versions of Android.

Smartphones can easily cost anywhere from $80 to $800. If you don't use your phone too often for anything more than talking or texting, then a free phone with a 2 year contract OR a low-price "$100 deal" with no contract are fine for you. 3. Should you even by a new phone?

If your current phone hasn't had any problems, then there's no need to upgrade. However, if your current phone isn't adequate for what you need to do or if it's not a true smartphone you should definitely consider upgrading.

Conclusion

The good news is that Android phones are becoming less and less expensive every day.
