I'm using Gingerbread, and I tried Kit Kat, and my phone was super slow on it, so I downgraded back. I looked up the system requirements, and found that all version 4.x require a minimum of 512Mb of Ram. I think Gingerbread was 384Mb. I have read that Lollipop has even higher system requirements. My question is, what are they adding? I don't miss anything having gone back to Gingerbread. What are they doing to Android, that it requires such faster cpu, gpu, and ram?
I read about how "improved" these new versions of Android are over their predecessors, but as an end user, I don't find anything worthwhile. Granted, support will continue to be dropped for Gingerbread... but at the moment, my set of apps do everything I need. Can someone tell me something I can't do right now on Gingerbread?
