Why do older Android devices not run as good as they did previously?

You only keep them for 2-3 weeks and they start slowing down in that amount of time? I find that hard to believe. Anyways, your "experience" doesn't give you credentials to talk about how an OS is designed.

I guess that's his life. Watches for every new Android releases, goes to Costco to buy one, fills the internal memory with videos and then imagine the devices getting slower and slower...

Thanks for making my point.
Windows PC's lag a lot more in general after you load your own stuff on it. The same happens with Android. It isn't optimized properly to handle all of the apps and programs.

It will look shiny and new the first day and work fast but it bogs down.

I've had Windows 7 for around two years, and I haven't noticed any "lag". Why are some Apple fans always going on about lag?

Lol, exactly what point did I make? You said they slow down after a few months. I've had the PC over five years with older technology vs a year old Mac book and a five month old GS3. I said it had a slight lag compared to those. I know your wishing you made sense but you don't. Sorry but I don't agree with you and you don't really know what your talking about. I don't believe you buy every new android device at all.

I think it could just be that people buy newer devices then compare them to older ones.

For example, when the HTC Desire first came out it was a speed demon. That and the iPhone 3GS were the fastest phones available.

Since I've used a Galaxy S2, S3 and iPhone 5, the HTC desire doesn't feel fast anymore, even though the speed probably hasn't actually changed.

It's like when the SNES game console had amazing graphics, and now look at it... They're awful

I think it's people's perceptions that change rather than the devices themselves.
