I use a samsung galaxy s23 with the android 14 that came out of the box, but i have removed google play service and related apps using ADB. If i end up needing the gsuite, I use Secure Folder to install apps that need google play services. I've been using this setup for little over a year. But I dont know how secure this setup is so i just want to know what the community thinks of this? Is it stupid? Is there anyone that use a phone similiarly? If yes drop some tips and tricks you've found. Also google seems to be really locking down on the sideloading thing. Now i get errors even on the apps on Secure Folder. I havent updated the phone once i bought.

I've owned a google pixel 10 for a week and I want to blow my brains out. It's got a mind of its own, I can't figure out the stupid UI and it overheard me say "adios" to some guy when my GPS was active and now every time I use google maps it's giving me directions in spanish. I haven't used any of the AI features yet due to fear of it wresting even more control away from me with the operation of my phone. Should I just take this shit back and eat the restock fee? Is it just growing pains from a decade old phone upgrade? Can you learn to live with Gemini back seat phoning?I think my other option was a moto razr flipper, which gives me great concern because I heard they're great minus the dogshit camera. Writing this while I look wistfully at my fractured galaxy S 10 remembering when smart phones were simpler. I'm really close to just ordering a replacement S10 at this point and instantly buying a new battery for it. MFW; send help.
For me it's the Pixel 10 Fold: Boom edition

It's unironically better to import something in my case. I just need the address there in US to pay less taxes and shipping costs but I could buy directly from China or Europe too
>>106958354The only do something if you hurt their fragile fee fees.
Has anyone in the USA used any of Nokia’s feature phones? I’m thinking of getting one.
What the fuck do you guys need more than 256gb of storage for? I got memed into buying my iPhone Air with 512GB and with all my photos & apps I still have 430GBs of space left... I could film hours of 4K footage but that's retarded and I know you guys aren't retarded so.
>>106959331It's mainly for people who>don't have any other device, including a computer or laptop>don't have any secondary storage (own external storage or have cloud storage)>take a lot of videos and photos>download a lot of movies, etc.If you're archiving your data on an external drive then you will almost never need more than 128 GB of storage even with a bunch of apps installed. And the same applies to PCs.
>>106959331Games, music, apps, porn
>>106959331I have over 120gb of music on my s25. I'll never sub spotify.

>>106958816>I got my Redmi Note 8 for less than 200 back in the day.That's the equivalent of $255 today. So you should be looking for a $250 phone.
Is it a bad idea to buy certain brand ofphones at launch nowadays? I was thinking of getting a S26U at launch but was wondering if first batch launches are known for being faulty? Upgrading from a Note 10 5G+

To those using iphones, are you paying on a montly contract or did you buy the phone outrightly and using a cheap PAYG deal?On either case how much are you paying?
Is the iphone 15 Pro worth getting? Basically all I want is a good camera.I heard it used to overheat, but all research suggests that was a software issue and it's been fixed.
Samsung is the sensible choice for a phone these days. Here's why:>Wide range of models: a phone to suit every budget>Software is clean and just works, unlike other Android skins>Even quite cheap phones come with more software support (6 or 7 years) than competitors>Samsung aren't Chinese, so you don't have to worry about the Chinese Communist Party spying on you>Android is more flexible than iOS, e.g. sideloading is much easier
>>106960464iphone 15 pro never had a good camera. it's from the era of early ultra-hdr photos which turn everything gray.https://www.tiktok.com/@alixearle/video/7370488869822713131iphone 16 pro gave you controls to reign in the gray. only iphone 17 pro has decent defaults again like iphone 13 pro.
>>106960581I'm not watching a tiktok, sorry.
>>106960589
>>106960589the point was even tiktok thots think the iphone 15 pro camera sucks
>>106960599Why would I ever take a tiktok uers opinion seriously?
>>106960526>>Wide range of modelsnone of the usable ones have a jack>Software is cleanlol>Android is more flexiblebut Samsung doesnt give bootloader unlock
>>106960611if you want to be more retarded than tiktok influencers be my guest
>>106960623>Dodges the questionWhat's wrong anon? You getting upset?
>>106960615>none of the usable ones have a jackUSB-C to 3.5mm adapters are cheap, probably less than $10>>Software is clean>lolIt is. The software on my Samsung phone is clean and it just works>Samsung doesnt give bootloader unlockWho cares. Custom ROMs are a waste of time for most people. But I guess if you really want a custom ROM then get a Google Pixel phone.
>>106960656>Conceeded every pointThanks for confirming Samshit isn't worth using.
Why did google make the Pixel unable to have an additonal slot for a memory card added?
>>106960656>USB-C to 3.5mm adapters are cheap, probably less than $10a piece of rope for a noose is cheap, probably less than $10>Custom ROMsits about being able to root. installing apks will remain working for now, but we dont know what google will be up to after 2027
>>106960730anon its google, you must store all your files on google drive or else
anyone know if the original pixel fold got better with all the newer android os updates? kinda thinking about it over a pixel 10 as ive heard the battery life on the 10 isnt what was expected
>>106960730it's a nightmare to support:1. magnitudes slower than internal memory. too slow for the camera/...2. can be removed at any time. cannot have essential files saved there.3. ...
>>106960793all of these are non problems
>iphone 17 sold out before I can put in my infoInsane
>my black rectangle is better than your black rectangle!lol
>>106961016let's see what samsung sayshttps://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10004910/>Adoptable storage is not available on Samsung devices. Using a microSD card for adoptable storage will reduce the overall performance of your phone or tablet, and is meant for devices with very low internal memory sizes. MicroSD cards used for adoptable storage are encrypted and cannot be removed from your device without factory resetting your phone or tablet, and formatting the SD card.might as well use a usbc stick if all you get is some media storage
>>106960730they were the first to do that actually, take a look at the nexus the removalbof sd card slots was the goal of google since the down of time, fucking google faggots i hate them and i hate apple too
>>106954554to align with the current year
>>106960661I didn't really concede any point. I made a slight concession for the third point where I said that if custom ROMs really matter to you then get a Google Pixel. That's fair, those phones will be better if you really care about custom ROMs. Many people don't though. For lots of normal people, Samsung phones are a good choice.>>106960740>a piece of rope for a noose is cheapI'm not saying that people who want 3.5mm jacks should kill themselves. I'm saying they should buy a cheap USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.>its about being able to root. installing apks will remain working for now, but we dont know what google will be up to after 2027In any case, I would personally trust a Samsung phone more than I would trust a Chinese Communist Party phone. Even if the latter has fewer restrictions on sideloading or whatever, that's not enough of a plus for me.

>>106961228It's true, microSD cards are dogshit slow.

>>106961667If you're content with slow transfer speeds onto the card, sure.Why do you need an easily corrupted card vs more fast storage on the phone itself? Are you constantly popping out your SIM tray to swap your SD card out? Use case unclear, SD cards considered harmful.
