[Electronics-Talk] New Android Phone

[Christopher Chaltain]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active from AT&T. I got it because I liked 
the form factor, and I liked the idea of getting voice Assistant, 
Samsung's screen reader, in addition to Talk Back from Google. I've 
found having multiple screen readers on Windows and Linux to be a life 
saver at times, and I feel the same way about Android. You also get the 
option of using some of Samsung's other apps, like their launcher.


The downsides to Samsung are that it takes a while to get major updates 
of Android. This isn't a big deal for me, since I don't find it unusable 
and I don't need to be the first to get a new update. Samsung isn't 
stock Android, and some have an issue with that, but I don't understand 
that whole reasoning, so others will have to talk to why having stock 
Android is so important.
