Android 10 Update on phone display

Every manufacturer sets its own update timeline for new versions of Android. Some are quick, like Google (of course), Essential, and Nokia, while others are, well, not so quick.

If you could choose when you’d receive your next major software update, which would you pick: receive the update immediately and deal with bugs and performance issues, or wait as long as it takes for those issues to be resolved? We asked you that very question last week, and the results can be found below.

Pick one: Quicker, buggier updates or slower, more stable updates?

Results

Out of nearly 1,000 votes, 16% of readers are okay with throwing caution to the wind and would prefer to receive their updates sooner, even if it means the updates would be buggier. 26% would rather wait longer for a more stable update. 58% said they’re okay with waiting for new updates for a certain amount of time, but they don’t want to wait long.

Noteworthy comments

Here are some of the best comments from last week’s poll explaining why they voted the way that they did:

  • Slower stable. Although I’m appreciative of the increased performance, Android has taken a real usability dive since Oreo. Might as well delay the updates at this point.
  • Just do it like Microsoft does for Windows 10: neither timely nor stable.
  • I think monthly updates are too much. Quarterly and relatively bug free, should be fine.

That’s it for this week, everyone. As always, thanks for voting, thanks for the comments, and don’t forget to let us know what you thought of the results below!

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
