Someone Else, 04 Nov 2016Android security is on par with iOS security. That is, if manufacturers bring monthly security... moreWell, ironically custom ROMs often get the latest security patches sooner than majority of Android manufacturers out there. Many custom ROMs have adapted the October security patch well in advance. Meanwhile, we can probably count by hadn't how many Android phones out there that are up to date.

Couldn't take it anymore, I still love Android, and I always will, I've got a backup phone lying with me, but my experience with the iPhone has been great so far. :)

You can also search the settings to see if something is wrong, or the updatee added or turned on a feature.
Anyway, some people suggest factory resetting your phone after an update(especially of it is an incremental one, like from 5.1 to 6.0 marshmallow).
But i think its a better option to take it to the shop or the samsung store you bought it from and ask them about it, if the problem doesn't fix itself in a few days.

Android phones are for the masses, for those who want their devices to work "good enough" in order to complete an action or task. iOS and Windows are for those who want more than "good enough".

...Even though, we have payed a higher price for A7 2016, somehow someway, Samsung are discriminating us. We should have get more support.

Samsung's way of pushing out updates is something I'll never understand. Why can't they push out security patches to all the phones at once?
The 2016 A5 gets the October patch, but the 2016 A7 is still on the July patch.

Someone Else, 04 Nov 2016Android security is on par with iOS security. That is, if manufacturers bring monthly security... moreso.. the android which is used by "that manufacturer" is less secure.

Choose one.new android without the latest monthly security updates is useless. i prefer stability and security, compared to the latest "but buggy" android.
Actually the monthly update is not just plain security updates, it often includes some improvements and bug fixes for the current android.
