Basically Android 4.4.2 is useless. Earlier versions worked
better.

Hehe that's like if I claimed Android is better than Windows 3.11

I'm installing Android 7 on my Note 5 right now.........


Does that mean I can buy a brand now Phablet with an out dated
version of Android. I just checked for up dates and it said it was up
to date.

Yes. 4.4.2 Kitkat is 4 years old and most apps require Marshmallow (6) or later. Sometimes the cheapest phablet is not the best deal unless you are willing to archive and run old apps, which may not handle the file formats and web sites you want.

This is how they force you to buy a new [tablet, phone, computer.]

I got a good mind to get my money back from Amazon.

I'll see it it will run Ubuntu.

That is not the case if you are running Linux. You can update the OS for free
as well as any apps that are updated.  Linux runs on all old
computers. No need to buy a new computer.
Just buy a new 3 gig  hard drive if what you have is fast enough for you.

That is not the case with Windows of course.

There is a golden opportunity  for someone to offer a Phablet
with Linux already installed.

I was hoping to replace my notebook with a tablet if it
could read and write to a 3 gig USB hard drive.

A lot more compact for travel.
