Why you need to update the firmware on Android

The main point of updates is to eradicate bugs, problems and shortcomings, of which there are plenty in the Android operating system:

• For example, system applications freeze or crash.
• Problem with one of the camera modes.
• The smartphone does not turn on at all.
• The smartphone goes into an endless reboot.
• Heavy power consumption when wi-fi is turned on, for example, the battery runs out in an hour.
• There can be a lot of glitches; there are times when the phone itself starts calling the first number in the phone book. Hardly anyone is happy with this behavior.

However, there are those who simply want to install everything new in order to get new functions and capabilities, so to speak, to start changing something in their life from a small point of view.

Lenovo A859 review

The smartphone has already been discontinued, but many will be interested in this review. There are problems with the front camera; after purchase, lags began after 2-3 months, and then it stopped working altogether. The warranty service centers did not help, they fooled me and reset it to factory settings, but in fact the problem was with the cable. The advantages include a rear camera (for this price), a fairly loud speaker, a lot of things like shake-lock, a personal access point, and an engineering calculator. Well, the design is not bad either. And the disadvantages include the fact that it is constantly stupid, there are problems with the front camera, and it took a long time to search for the network after a reboot (and you have to reboot it often, because it is very stupid).
