What a ridiculous article. There is nothing at all keeping an S4 from well running with marshmallow installed. You really think one user’s reported problems tell us all we need to know about how the S4 runs?

It’s all about the $$$.

Since Android stopped allowing apps to be stored on SD cards to be updated without being moved back to the built-in memory, I’ve had to clear my cache constantly. It’s the ONLY issue I have wigh my 2.5 year-old S4. A marshmallow update would solve this problem, but then there would be less incentive for me to buy a new phone, and Samsung and Verizon don’t want that now, fo they?

Wow! One S4 user doesn’t like Lolipop on their phone. That sure is convincing. /sarc

Not sure what else they have loaded on it, but it’s not Lolipop causing the problems. My S4 has never run better.

I would also dispute the author’s claim that every OS is bigger and more difficult for existing phones to run. Lolipop was designed to improve performance on existing phones, particularly ones without much memory.

Meh, my aging Galaxy S4 is running a version of CM.13, called Resurrection Remix.. No signs of lag or sputter.. It’s Touchwiz that was slowing it down..
